ANST has created a Chapter Program to coordinate communication between
ANST and graduate students across the country. It was created in response
to the prevalent concern expressed by students that they need more discussion
of training and professional issues, particularly the training trajectory
of neuropsychology.
ANST chapters will serve a number of functions:
1) Assist the committee in disseminating important
information about training and professional issues relevant to the field
of Neuropsychology, as well as to provide a concrete mechanism for feedback
between students and the governing bodies of Division 40 and ANST.
2) Ensure that students at all levels of training in neuropsychology
are well informed of education and career opportunities.
3) Provide a regular forum for students to discuss, debate, and provide
feedback on a variety of issues that can be shared with students across
the country. We will facilitate discussion through monthly topical seminars
at local universities, while also providing interactive links and forums
on the ANST web site that will allow students to dialogue about professional
issues with each other and professionals on both the local and national
level.
4) Serve as a vehicle for soliciting candidates to run for ANST elections
and to submit nominations for our planned Award Program (e.g. Awards
in recognition of superior Mentorship, Professional Contribution to
the field, Research Award, Neuropsychology Program of the Year, etc.).
ANST Chapters are the medium through
which ANST communicates with students across the country. By becoming
a chapter, you will be furthering a key mission of ANST to increase
student discussion and involvement in training and professional issues
relevant to the field of Neuropsychology.
ANST would like to recruit both
a student and faculty member from programs offering specialty training
in Neuropsychology to serve as Chapter Representatives (CRs). Either
a student or faculty member can request to create a Chapter by emailing
the ANST Communications Chair to obtain a CR enrollment form. However,
it is intended that the student member will serve as the primary Chapter
Representative for each chapter and thus be responsible for coordinating
many of its activities. The CR position for the student carries many
important responsibilities as well as exciting opportunities to connect
with the governance and leadership of APA Division 40and ANST.
