More specifically, the trainee is guided to develop advanced practice competencies in pediatric neuropsychological assessment in preparation for function as a licensed psychologist in a comparable setting (e.g., neuropsychological consultation service). All trainees work toward achieving the same core set of competencies; subspecialty interests can vary especially in regards to research opportunities. **At the end of fellowship, trainees should be able to:** - Apply extensive knowledge as a scientist-practitioner to derive formulation of complex medical cases. - Independently conduct neuropsychological assessment, from referral through feedback and deliver ethical and culturally-sensitive services to children with a diverse spectrum of medical, neurological, genetic, and neurodevelopmental conditions. - Undertake consultation to patients and other health professionals on an independent basis. - Demonstrate scholarly competence through presentation of research findings. - Understand the organizational and administrative issues associated with the practice of pediatric neuropsychology in a hospital/medical setting. - Be eligible for state licensure (pass national and state exams) and document supervised training experience aligned with requirements for board certification in clinical neuropsychology (e.g., ABCN, ABPdN, ABN). ### Living in Sacramento California's capital city is home to rural, suburban and urban neighborhoods, all with the mild climate California is famous for.
