OBJECTIVE The specialty of clinical neuropsychology has experienced significant professional growth and increasing standardization of educational and training guidelines over the past 20 years. Previous literature demonstrated the importance of routine distribution of selection criteria used by training directors and supervising neuropsychologists for competitive applicants aiming to specialize in neuropsychology during internship. This study examined supervisors' updated expectations for competitive applicants from a more diverse sample of doctoral internship programs offering neuropsychological training. These data also provide cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons to help trainees tailor their graduate training experiences. METHOD The sample included training directors and/or supervising neuropsychologists from 80 internship programs (73.4% of submitted surveys). Spearman correlations, analyses of variance, and chi-square tests of independence were conducted for cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons. RESULTS Clinical experience in assessment and the personal interview were consistently the two most prioritized criteria across all groups, whereas prioritization of the additional criteria was variable based on the program's characteristics. Internship programs generally preferred practica experience at university-affiliated medical centers, Veterans Affairs medical centers, and private/community-based hospitals. University-affiliated medical centers and internships offering ≥50% neuropsychology training showed similar preferences for applicants with a depth and breadth of graduate school experience in neuropsychology. Longitudinally, the applicant expectations for programs offering ≥50% neuropsychology training remained largely unchanged between 2000 and 2020. CONCLUSIONS This study updated expectations for competitive applicants from a diverse sample of neuropsychology training programs, underscored the importance of fit between trainee and program, and demonstrated consistency over time for trainees seeking neuropsychology training during internship.

提供临床神经心理学培训的博士实习调查：对有竞争力的申请人的最新期望。

目标临床神经心理学专业在过去 20 年中经历了显着的专业发展和教育和培训指南的日益标准化。以前的文献证明了培训主管和监督神经心理学家使用的选择标准的常规分布对于旨在在实习期间专攻神经心理学的竞争性申请人的重要性。这项研究从提供神经心理学培训的更多样化的博士实习项目样本中检验了主管对竞争性申请人的最新期望。这些数据还提供了横截面和纵向比较，以帮助学员定制他们的研究生培训经验。方法 样本包括来自 80 个实习项目的培训主管和/或监督神经心理学家（占提交调查的 73.4%）。对横断面和纵向比较进行了 Spearman 相关性、方差分析和独立性卡方检验。结果 评估中的临床经验和个人访谈始终是所有组中最优先考虑的两个标准，而附加标准的优先级根据项目的特点而有所不同。实习计划通常更喜欢在大学附属医疗中心、退伍军人事务医疗中心和私立/社区医院的实习经验。提供≥50% 神经心理学培训的大学附属医疗中心和实习机构对具有神经心理学研究生院经验的深度和广度的申请人表现出类似的偏好。从纵向来看，2000 年至 2020 年间，申请人对提供 ≥50% 神经心理学培训的计划的期望基本保持不变。结论 本研究更新了对来自不同样本的神经心理学培训计划的竞争申请人的期望，强调了受训者与计划之间契合的重要性，并证明了实习期间寻求神经心理学培训的学员随时间的一致性。
