Clinical Neuropsychology Master Student: Day In My Life

[@andrewharmony]

I've been wanting to do neuropsychology for a few years and I was just accepted into grad school! I haven't been able to find many neuropsychologists on youtube so it's cool to finally find another person studying in the field that I'll be studying.

[@anushkaa28]

I too aspire to be a neuropsychologist. Was frantically searching for people who pursued this course. You can actually check out QUORA as well. There are some valuable suggestions for this course.

[@pakeeza6494]

Same its my dream to become neuropsychologist. But whenever i try know about it I rarely found people who belong to this field and give advices... But i believe in future it will be the most known field...and its growing...thats the best part...

[@riddhimehta8575]

Seems like you are from india @anushkaGuha I want to pursue the same. I'd like to connect w you somehow 🤗

[@joshamaro6553]

Is your program a neuroscience or clinical program?

I’m currently studying psychology at university and am starting to think about what I want to specialise in. I’ve thought about clinical neuropsychology for a while and this was a super helpful video! You’ve inspired me just a little bit more to go down the neuropsychology path so thank you ☺️ I’ve subscribed so I’m looking forward to seeing your future uploads!

[@pineapple5618]

I'm in my bachelor's of psychology and in my country, most people do clinical psychology so it's kind of my dream to be a neuropsychologist and research topics that I've always found mindblowing.

Interesting video. I am a doctoral student studying Neuropsychology in Chicago. So many day in the life videos for other fields so it was nice to see one from my world

[@Abby-zv1ie]

Hey Angelina! I’m also living in Chicago looking to do neuropsychology. Where are you studying ?

[@angelinaexline8033]

@Abby Knowski hi! I am currently in Dallas, TX completing my internship for a neuropsychology track. I went to the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and completed their Neuropsych concentration

[@aurora-sq8xx]

hey! this really gave me insight into the field of neuropsychology. I was wondering at what point in your life we’re you certain that this was *the* career path for you? Why not other fields? I’m currently a high school student with an interest in psychology and neurology. After being told by my friend that those are very different fields, I started to look into it and BAM, I found neuropsychology! (in your face, friend who told me otherwise) From my understanding, a neuropsychologist would have an understanding of the connections between human behavior and the brain structure in which contributes to such behaviors. This sounds right up my alley but what exactly do neuropsychologist do? And what made you so sure about your career decision? Amazing video by the way! Loved your other video about a day in the life of a neuropsychology student! your videos inspire me :)) keep up the good work!

[@mrsbrains2272]

highkeycrying thank you for your lovely comment! I talk about how I ended up studying neuropsychology in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mISupKigaJyij6M . And this other too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ-0k5mAptejo6M I completely get where you’re coming from, it’s really complicated for a teenager to decide what they want to do for a career. I’d advise you to trust your instincts and do something in relation to your interests. You can always give it a go and if you see it’s not for you, change to another field. You got it! Being a neuropsychologist means having a really good understanding about brain structure, so you’re able to know what happens when certain areas are damaged. The first way of seeing this is through behavior, and luckily because of technology, it can also be through imaging. The job itself of a clinical neuropsychologist consists on seeing patients that come to you with subjective complaints and people that do already have a clinical background. You’re not a psychologist that treats with therapy, you help with the diagnosis, it’s closer to a neurologist, though they are the experts on the brain, giving the final diagnosis. What you do, is further research with patients by doing more screenings and giving facts to the posible suspected diagnosis. This of course requires a deep knowledge about the brain, and once you’ve been working in the field for a while, your start seeing patterns and it’s easier to know which screening tests you should use according to what the patient says and what you see through their behavior. You’ve to be really resourceful. In terms of being sure this was THE career I wanted, sadly there’s not a magic way of being 100% sure, you just have to try things and see what interests you the most, and the least. For me it has a good balance between “medicine” and “science”, plus I love talking to people and I do a lot of that with the patients haha. I hope I answered your questions and good luck! 😉

[@rachel56]

Neuropsychology is the career goal. I am starting university soon and I have some questions about the education. Is it a bachelors in psychology and then a PhD in Neuroscience? Every school I look into they have a neuroscience doctorate program. I see nothing on neuropsychology, is there a difference ?

[@mrsbrains2272]

Yes! There’s a difference, it’s a different field. Neuroscience is more focused on research I’d say and neuropsychology can be either research or clinical. At some point there are both pretty intertwined but there aren’t exactly the same field. You could try looking up higher education with clinical neuropsychology and see what comes up, or ask any advisor in case you’ve access to that in university/high school. Good luck!!

[@seema7925]

hey can i ask you why did you choose to do masters over psy.d or pdh in clinical neuropsychology ?and what kind of jobs do you get into if one has completed their masters in clinical neurophyschogy??? can you please reply as in international students i really have a lot of questions because i want to apply to grad school and i am just confuse whether i should apply for masters or psy.d !

[@obaz91]

Great video! Do you have your doctorate? I really want to become a neuropsychologist but what’s holding me back is that I’ve heard you must have your phd, and going to med school is a lot of time and money.. Can you be a clinical neuropsychologist without a doctorate? Can I just get my masters? Or maybe a psyD

[@mrsbrains2272]

becs thank you for your lovely comment! I believe you can become a clinical neuropsychologist with a PsyD, but I advice you to check it online or ask some type or advisor if you’re able to reach one! Each country has their own laws and ways of doing that specific job. I don’t have a PhD, in currently doing a master in clinical neuropsychology.

[@dinamothupi996]

Hi Oratile. The University of Cape Town has a Master's program in Clinical Neuropsychology. As for other universities in SA, I could only find a Master's in Clinical Psych. I suggest applying to the Clinical Neuropsychology programs abroad as well and then seeing how to transfer back to SA through the HPCSA.

The_ Weird1 depends on your country, for instance in North America I believe you do need a PhD, for Europe it can be with a master or PhD. Check for your country what are the requirements. I don’t think is anything higher than a PhD though

I’m really interested in studying neuropsychology since grade 8. Currently I’m in my first year of bachelors. Can we pursue neuropsychology after completion of bachelors in psychology or do we have to complete our masters in order to do so. Could you recommend some universities offering education in the same field in Canada? Please revert back, it’ll be great help. Thank you

[@mrsbrains2272]

Taniya Gonsalves Thanks for your interest! Yes you can continue with your education after your bachelors and focus on neuropsychology if it’s what you want. Perhaps you can start specializing within your bachelors. I recommend you ask to a mentor in your university since that person has the most knowledge according to where you are and where you could go in you continue studying/working!
