Clinical Neuropsychologist

A Clinical Neuropsychologist assesses and diagnoses cognitive and behavioural disorders related to brain function. You might work in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, or private practices. Clinical Neuropsychologists focus on evaluating patients with neurological conditions, traumatic brain injuries, or neurodegenerative diseases. You’ll conduct assessments using various tests and tools to understand cognitive impairments and develop treatment plans in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.

Clinical Neuropsychologists play a critical role in understanding and managing neurological conditions. You’ll need to be analytical and empathetic, with strong communication skills to explain complex findings to patients and their families. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive care and support for those with cognitive and behavioural challenges.
