Applied training experiences in the evidence-based practice of clinical neuropsychology is a strength of the UH CN major. In the 2nd and 3rd years of the program, UH CN students typically engage in 10-20hr/week external practica in clinical neuropsychology, which may be supported by funded contracts (in lieu of teaching or research assistantships). Clinical opportunities abound in Houston, which has a large and active population of clinical neuropsychologists practicing in diverse settings, ranging from inpatient rehabilitation to outpatient private practice, and with a wide variety of neurological, medical, and neuropsychiatric populations across the lifespan. The UH CN major benefits greatly from established relationships with faculty at the Texas Medical Center, which is the world’s largest medical complex and houses the Baylor College of Medicine, UT Health Sciences, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Memorial Hermann, and Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (to name a few!). Recent CN practica site placements are listed below.

  • The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR)

UH CN students also undertake applied training experiences in general clinical psychology. In the 2nd year of the program, CN students typically participate in interventions and assessment training at the UH Psychology Research and Services Center (PRSC). In the 3rd and/or 4th year of the program, CN students will commonly complete an external general clinical interventions practicum.
