Kara is working toward becoming a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist. Following her master's thesis defense, Kara hopes to attend an APA-accredited clinical psychology PhD program that is in accordance with the scientist-practitioner model, Houston Conference Guidelines, and APA CRSPP training taxonomy. She is seeking a program that will offer a balance of breadth and depth of training in statistical foundations and research design, case conceptualization and diagnostic skills, evidence-based therapy and assessment, and oral/written communication. She is eager to received broad-based training, but her specialty interest is in adult neuropsychology – particularly the detection of abnormal cognitive decline in older adults.
