Starting a Neuropsych Practice in a Rural Area

Establishing a neuropsychology practice in a rural area poses distinct challenges, particularly in terms of awareness and marketing for services that are often misunderstood. The limited number of neuropsychologists in Mississippi requires practitioners to educate potential referral sources about the value of their services. Dr. Ann Carlew is focusing her efforts on building her practice in Jackson, Mississippi, where she aims to provide essential services to adults facing neurological and psychiatric disorders. By refining her intake process and establishing a referral network, she is navigating the complexities of introducing her practice to a community with limited health literacy.
