Membership Type Description
Full Full members undergo a rigourous certification process to establish their competence in the practice of clinical neuropsychology. Since neuropsychology is not recognised by the Professional Board of Psychology, SACNA currently is the only body that credentials neuropsychologists in South Africa. Full membership is a sought after category of membership that confers professional advantages to the holder of the title.
Associate This category is open to all registered psychologists with an interest in clinical neuropsychology. Associate membership does not imply any expertise in neuropsychology.
Subscriber Open to professionals with an interest in neuropsychology. This membership category caters for non-psychologists in related fields such as neurology, neurosurgery, occupational therapy, physical medicine and rehabilitation, physiotherapy, psychiatry, and speech therapy.
Student University students (under or postgraduate) registered in any Faculty with an interest in neuropsychology. Proof of registration at a university is required. Student membership is not offered to persons completing doctoral degrees, who are required to join as associate or subscriber members.
Life Life membership is conferred on members in honour of their contribution to SACNA and the field of neuropsychology in South Africa. Life membership cannot be requested and is only granted rarely to persons selected by the executive committee.
