Recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Noncredit Program Award by the University Professional Continuing Education Association (UPCEA)

Human brain science research is a growing area that has implications for clinical assessment and intervention with a variety of populations. Workshops in the UC Berkeley Extension Professional Program in Neuropsychological Assessment provide an update on brain research and neuropsychological assessment tools used in diverse settings. Courses aim to help licensed health and mental health professionals stay current in the field of neuropsychology, become better clinicians in their work with children and adults, and make better assessments and informed referrals. Introductory and more advanced workshops are offered. Join our email list to stay informed about this program.

Note: Because clinical neuropsychology is a specialized area of practice requiring doctoral and postdoctoral training, this program does not prepare clinicians to practice neuropsychology or use neuropsychological instruments.
