Navigating Neuropsychology

Today we bring you our first clinical fact-find episode, where John plays the role of examiner and Ryan plays the role of examinee. We simulate the exam process and then debrief about it and provide tips afterward. If you'd like to either follow along as Ryan gathers relevant information, or use this case for your own fact find with a colleague, we provide the relevant information in our show notes.

We are doing something a little different for this episode since this is a major milestone for NavNeuro (Episode 100!). Specifically, we are going to deliver a presentation on how digital forms of education (podcasts, webinars, and social media platforms) might be used in formal training programs in neuropsychology. During the talk, we provide 1) an introduction to the three digital education methods; 2) we give a discussion of general benefits and drawbacks of each of the methods; 3) we provide a literature review on self-reported satisfaction and objective learning outcomes; and 4) we will give some recommendations for how educators and neuropsychology trainees might implement these methods effectively.
