To the Members of the Minnesota Conference Steering Committee,

The American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) formally endorses the Minnesota Conference Proposed Update to Training Guidelines in Neuropsychology. The Guidelines serve to enhance the previous standards of neuropsychological specialty training and practice. The board expresses their deep appreciation for the expertise and perseverance that you have displayed in bringing the Guidelines to fruition.

ABN further endorses the proposed plan for ABN to serve alongside other certification and training organizations as the custodian of the Minnesota Guidelines. ABN looks forward to collaborating with these other organizations to maintain the document with continual updates, in coordination with the Clinical Neuropsychology Specialty Council.

Respectfully,

ABN Board of Directors

Scholarship Announcement - Call For Applications

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 16:41:40 GMT

Dear Candidates,

The American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) is seeking to award scholarships to candidates from diverse backgrounds and/or historically underrepresented groups in neuropsychology. This is one step towards ABN’s goal of advocating for, recruiting, and retaining diverse membership in our organization.

The scholarship award is meant to offset costs involved in attaining Board Certification through ABN. Applications should take the form of a letter addressed to the Diversity Scholarship Committee and speak to all of the following topics:

Clear articulation of career plans in neuropsychology

Involvement in volunteerism, advocacy and leadership in neuropsychology

Resiliency/distance traveled in pursuit of career in neuropsychology

Plans for volunteerism within ABN

Applications will be accepted until 11/15/23 and should be emailed to the incoming ABN president at: kristafreece@abnbod.org. A prerequisite for the diversity scholarship application is that the candidate must have had their ABN application approved. The scholarship application review process will last for one month following the due date of the application. Applicants will be notified of the review outcome in late December, 2023. If a scholarship is awarded, it applies to the base fee for exam stages (e.g., Multiple Choice, Work Samples and/or Orals) completed in the next two calendar years. For example, if a candidate is notified that a scholarship is awarded in December, 2023, the fees will be waived for any exams taken in 2024 and 2025. Fees will not be refunded retroactively and the additional fee if a candidate chooses to do virtual Orals will not apply.

ABN strongly encourages applications from candidates from historically underrepresented backgrounds, with diverse attributes that include but are not limited to age, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and gender diversity. ABN recognizes that the responsibility for excellence, diversity, and inclusion lies with all of us!

Please direct any questions about the scholarship, application or review process to Dr. Krista Freece at kristafreece@abnbod.org.

Respectfully,

The ABN Board of Directors & Diversity Committee

News Bits from the President

Mon, 01 Feb 2016 00:01:00 GMT

Please join the ABN Board of Directors in thanking Dr. Sue Antell, ABN’s long time Secretary, for her invaluable service to the Board. Her contributions have been substantial. Dr. Antell recently submitted her resignation as she is winding down her clinical practice and moving on to other things. Her presence on the Board will be sorely missed, but we are pleased to announce that the Board has appointed Dr. Roger Riss, ABN’s Applications Coordinator, to this position. Dr. Riss will also continue as the Applications Coordinator. We feel sure that he is well equipped for the job, and look forward to having his input as a a member of the Board of Directors.

ABN’s Examination Committee has experienced a period of transition, with the prior Work Sample and Written Examination coordinators stepping down to pursue other interests. We are happy to announce that Dr. Raphi Wald has been appointed to the position of Work Sample Coordinator, and Dr. Renee Low has been appointed to the Written Examination Coordinator. Dr. Riss will continue as Applications Coordinator, and Dr. Jeff Madden will continue as the Oral Exam Coordinator, and the overall Examination Chair. Additionally, Dr. Pauline Prince is taking over as Mentor Coordinator.

The ABN Board of Directors has recently voted to make some minor changes to the Application process, and the amount of time allowed to complete the application process. Instead of requiring applicants to move from one phase of the exam process to the next within a specific amount time, there is now an 7 year candidate window, starting with the date the application is officially accepted. This will be outlined in greater detail in the forthcoming Applicant Handbook revision. Please check back frequently for the new Handbook.

ABN is currently reviewing its Maintenance of Certification criteria, and updating the criteria to a requirement that is more in keeping with current standards. You may know that many, if not most, organizations in the medical arena are moving away from a maintenance of certification requirement that can be satisfied by CE’s exclusively, moving to more of a matrix format. ABN has a committee that is already hard at work, designing our new MOC model. We will have more on this topic as the project progresses. We hope to have approved a new MOC system, and to be piloting it this spring. Stay tuned for more information!
