Class Internship in Clinical Neuropsychology

The Clinical Neuropsychology Internship curricular unit takes place in a clinical context and aims to bring students closer to the professional context of Clinical Neuropsychology through a teaching-learning model based on practical experience. Students are expected to be involved in activities directly related to the professional practice of Clinical Neuropsychology, namely assessment, stimulation and neuropsychological rehabilitation in different contexts, populations and clinical specificities. This curricular unit regroups all the competences acquired during the 1st year of the Master's in Clinical Neuropsychology, seeking to promote the development of clinical competences in Neuropsychology, with progressive autonomy, and to establish the bridge between academia and the start of professional practice as a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
