Fellows will also participate in supervision of psychology externs and psychometricians. Fellows will attend the weekly didactic and monthly seminars within the Division for Rehabilitation Psychology and Neuropsychology, the Department of PM&R, and the Kennedy-Krieger Institute, and will work closely with their mentors to develop participation in clinical research enterprises at Johns Hopkins.
