Overview
This unit aims to further consolidate and hone key neuropsychological competencies with minimal direct supervision. At the end of this placement, students have generally completed the Masters equivalent of placement time and so are expected to have developed sufficient competency in their various clinical and professional skills such that they could operate as a generalist registered psychologist.
Students will observe and actively participate in case formulation, interpretation and discussion of potential interventions based on oral case presentations given by other students and will each present a case from their placement to the class. They will also be exposed to a variety of different presentation styles designed to cater for specific audiences and will learn to evaluate case material in an objective and critical manner. They will participate in discussions of clinical issues and recent developments in the field of Clinical Neuropsychology and will be challenged to remain informed about such developments and issues.
