The American Board of Forensic Psychology (ABFP) is a specialty board of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). This board certification follows an extensive continuing education and rigorous examination process, with a historic failure rate of 40% at the culminating oral exam. This credential is intended to signify the highest levels of expertise and practice in forensic psychology. Approximately 350 psychologists in the United States currently hold this distinction.
The Postdoctoral Certificate in Neuropsychology Specialization curriculum provides a broad foundation in the latest theory and research in brain-behavior relationships, and training in the administration and interpretation of neuropsychological tests and test batteries. Carefully supervised study of patients with various neuropathological disorders supports the learning of appropriate assessment and rehabilitative methods and techniques for specific patient groups. In addition to passing quarterly written examinations on academic material, students must present fifty cases, accrue 200 hours of consultation, submit topical papers, conduct presentations on normal and abnormal areas of neuropsychology, and pass a final oral examination on an unsupervised neuropsychological examination and report.
