Summary

The Neuropsychology Program in the Psychology Division, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas Children's Hospital are significantly expanding clinical services.

We are seeking pediatric neuropsychologists with interest and expertise in the following specialty areas:

  • Hematology/Oncology
  • Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery
