The American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the practice of clinical neuropsychology. Incorporated in 1982, ABN has developed a background review and examination process that evaluates competency with the field of clinical neuropsychology for the purposes of ABN board certification. This special topic presentation will first review ABN’s history, mission, and current professional activities, but will primarily focus on reviewing all phases of the ABN boarding process, including the application itself, the written examination, work sample submissions, and the oral examination. The format for this special topic presentation will include a formal presentation as well as the opportunity for questions and answers. The presentation will close with a brief review of ABN’s postdoctoral training consortium, the Academy of the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology.
