Abstract

Objective

Within a portion of the 2020 professional practice and “salary survey,” to update key information regarding neuropsychology postdoctoral trainees.

Methods

Postdoctoral trainees were contacted via a variety of membership listings, including the listserv used by the program directors of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN). Invitations sent in multiple waves to members of numerous neuropsychological organizations via e-messages and physical postcards included the request that postdoctoral trainees participate. The survey website was opened on January 17, 2020 and closed on April 2, 2020, during which time a total of 178 postdoctoral trainees in the USA and 3 in Canada participated.

Results

Response rate was estimated to be 56.4%, which adequately represents the target sample. The modal postdoctoral trainee is a woman whose internship was American Psychological Association (APA)-accredited and whose postdoctoral training is in an APPCN program that adheres to Houston Conference training guidelines. Extensive clinical experiences in neuropsychology in the form of externship practica and during internship were reported by the majority of trainees prior to postdoctoral training. There are few differences between APPCN and non-APPCN trainees and reported training experiences. Job satisfaction is high. Salaries appear to have increased substantially in recent years. There is universal interest in pursuing board certification. Support for the empirical foundations justifying assessment of response validity is high.

Conclusions

Surveys of postdoctoral trainees continue to provide valuable perspectives regarding training background, clinical experiences, practice beliefs, and incomes of individuals who will soon launch their careers in clinical neuropsychology.

摘要

客观的

在2020年专业实践和“薪资调查”中，更新有关神经心理学博士后实习生的关键信息。

方法

通过各种会员名单与博士后受训者联系，包括临床神经心理学博士后计划协会（APPCN）的计划主任所使用的名单服务。通过电子消息和实物明信片多次向众多神经心理学组织的成员发出邀请，其中包括要求博士后学员参加。该调查网站于2020年1月17日打开，并于2020年4月2日关闭，在此期间，美国共有178名博士后实习生，而加拿大则有3名博士后参加了培训。

结果

回应率估计为56.4％，足以代表目标样本。模范博士后实习生是一名女性，其实习经历是美国心理学会（APA）认可的，其博士后培训是在APPCN计划中进行的，该计划遵守休斯顿会议培训准则。在博士后培训之前，大多数受训人员报告了以实习实习形式和实习期间在神经心理学方面的广泛临床经验。APPCN和非APPCN的受训者之间的差异很小，而且所报告的培训经历也很少。工作满意度很高。近年来，工资似乎大幅增加。追求董事会认证引起了普遍兴趣。支持合理评估评估效度的经验基础的支持很高。

结论

博士后研究人员的调查继续提供有关培训背景，临床经验，实践信念以及不久将在临床神经心理学领域展开职业的个人收入的宝贵观点。
