2-hour class per week (contact hours) plus 1-2 hours of associated outside of class work per week. Up to 12 hours for assessment tasks across the semester is estimated.
Identify and discuss the neuropathology, including diagnosis, symptomatology, and current neuroclinical investigations, as well as the known factors and theories related to the aetiology, progression, and recovery of both systemic and acquired neuropsychological syndromes.
Develop tailored recommendations by applying neuropsychological syndrome-specific knowledge and evidence-based decision-making strategies.
Integrate neuropsychological syndrome-specific knowledge, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based decision-making to formulate neuropsychological cases, improving the accuracy of differential diagnosis related to these conditions.
Demonstrate awareness of clinical neuropsychologists’ roles, and how these vary across neuropsychological syndromes, settings and assessment/intervention contexts.
Devise comprehensive assessment plans by applying neuropsychological syndrome-specific knowledge and incorporating relevant international taxonomies, history taking, case review, key presentation features, and formal testing.
Neuropsychological syndromes case components: AT#3 Case components will require application of learnings from class (select syndromes covered across week 9-12), the need to compare and contrast neuropsychological syndromes and elements of assessment planning, formulation and foundation recommendations/interventions, along with reflection of the role of neuropsychology.
Case components will require application of learnings from class (select syndromes covered across week 5-8), the need to compare and contrast neuropsychological syndromes and elements of assessment planning, formulation and foundation recommendations/interventions, along with reflection of the role of neuropsychology.
Case components will require application of learnings from class (select syndromes covered across week 1-4), the need to compare and contrast neuropsychological syndromes and elements of assessment planning, formulation and foundation recommendations/interventions, along with reflection of the role of neuropsychology.
