Applied Research Practicum
Honours students who have successfully completed the course prerequisites have the opportunity to apply their laboratory training in various hospital and community health-care settings. Here, they conduct neuropsychological assessments and deliver cognitive rehabilitation interventions under the supervision of a clinical neuropsychologist. Students gain a more profound understanding of cognitive neuropsychology through the invaluable knowledge they acquire in their practicum placements. Students may choose between a 3.00 credit or a 6.00 credit practicum.
