As a leading academic institution, our clinic also highly values active engagement in creating and disseminating new knowledge/clinical research, with protected research time (see www.twhneuropsych.com/research). We also recognize the importance of contributing to training all levels of learners including practicum students, interns, and clinical fellows.
