Er is een toenemende erkenning van de rol die neuropsychologen spelen in het beheersen van hersenaandoeningen. De vraag naar hun diensten wordt groter nu de bevolking veroudert en medische (neuro)technologie verbetert. Neuropsychologen beoordelen en behandelen de cognitieve -, emotionele – en gedragsconsequenties van hersenafwijkingen.

Evidence-based practice
The specialisation is grounded in the neurosciences relevant to neuropsychology with a strong focus on evidence-based practice. This means that you are taught to focus on the conscientious, explicit and well-judged use of current best scientific evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients; this in terms of diagnostics, prognostics and interventions (the ‘scientist-practitioner’ model).
Aim of the programme
The specialisation is attractive not only if you wish to become professionally active in the field of clinical neuropsychology, for instance as a Health Care psychologist/Gezondheidszorgpsycholoog BIG, Clinical Neuropsychologist/Klinisch Neuropsycholoog or Clinical Psychologist/Klinisch Psycholoog’. The programme is also suitable if you are interested in a scientific career. You are involved in the neuropsychological assessment, treatment and guidance of patients with brain damage.
