Volunteers needed to help administer Cognitive Assessments

We are currently seeking volunteers to assist doctoral students in practicing the administration of
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.
