ABCN Announcement - May 2011

The American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN) is pleased to announce that it has now awarded board certification to more than 800 psychologists who specialize in the assessment and treatment of patients with brain disorders.  The 800th board-certified neuropsychologist passed the oral examination held during April 2011 at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.  ABCN was incorporated in 1981 and is a member board of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), the organization that oversees board certification of professional psychologists.  ABCN-certified neuropsychologists practice in 49 states and 4 provinces.  About 40% provide services to pediatric patients.  Similar to board certification in medical specialties, ABCN applicants must document appropriate education and training, and pass written and oral examinations.  For applicants trained since 2005, a formal two-year post-doctoral residency is required.  A directory of neuropsychologists who are board-certified by ABCN is available online at www.theaacn.org/diplomates/database/view.php.
