cognitive assessments as part of their clinical training.
This is a valuable opportunity to support future clinical psychologists in developing essential skills for their professional work. These sessions are strictly educational and non-diagnostic and are designed to help doctoral trainees become proficient in administering, scoring, and interpreting cognitive tests under supervision. Volunteers will be asked to participate in a mock assessment session. No prior experience or preparation is necessary, just a willingness to participate and provide a realistic practice setting. Your participation would support student learning and offer a unique, hands-on opportunity to experience cognitive psychological testing from the inside, which is something especially valuable for those interested in psychology, education, or mental health.
How To Apply:
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Dr. Botanov (ybotanov@umd.edu). Afterward, a doctoral trainee will contact you and find a mutually beneficial time to meet sometime between 7/15 and 8/03. The session will last about 2 hours on campus in the Biology/Psychology Building.
