Where do I find a neuropsychologist in my area?
Send an email to questions.neuropsychologist@sacna.co.za
What should I study to become a neuropsychologist?
The brain. Also, do a degree in psychology. Neuropsychology will soon be recognised as a category of registration by the Professional Board for Psychology and that will force universities to provide appropriate courses. Coursework in neuroanatomy is very helpful too.
That’s a rather trite answer. For decent information contact the chair of the SACNA Training Committee, Dr Joachim Mureriwa.
