The mission of NYSAN’s Scholastic Committee is to educate students of all ages about the field of neuropsychology. Thus far, we have become involved with the College Board to have neuropsychology better represented in the high school AP Examination; have reached out to the NYC Board of Education to involve us in their career day; and have started to give talks to undergraduates at colleges where our members have connections.
We have also developed relationships and an associated database with over 25 undergraduate psychology programs statewide who consistently use our resources. We also currently partner with New York Neuropsychology Group (NYNG) yearly to do a joint evening panel for undergraduates about Neuropsychology as a career.
