Fall 2025 Online Courses Now Underway - Check back for Spring 2026 offerings in early November!

Fundamentals of Forensic Neuropsychology

20 CE Credits (course begins August 25, 2025 ends November 3, 2025)

This 10-week course is designed to introduce neuropsychologists to forensic evaluation in both criminal and civil litigation. Participants will be familiarized with the United States legal system structure, and relevant case law and legal and practice considerations for forensic neuropsychological (FNP) engagement. Coursework will focus on key terms and processes in FNP evaluation, with emphasis on the differences between forensic and traditional clinical neuropsychology practice. Participants will learn essential elements of select criminal and civil forensic neuropsychological evaluations, and an overview of important components of forensic neuropsychological report writing and testimony. The aim of this course is for the neuropsychologist to understand their potential to uniquely contribute to the legal system and to be aware of the requisite foundational knowledge for moving forward in this specialty niche. Another objective is for the participant to gain not only empirical knowledge, but also to be able to apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios. Ethical as well as equity, diversity, and inclusivity considerations will be discussed throughout the course.

Behavioral & Cognitive Neurology 

24 CE Credits (course begins August 25, 2025 ends November 17, 2025)

The goal of this 12-week course is to provide students with an overview of the behavioral geography and large scale networks of the brain and to review the disorders of higher cortical functions and the major neurobehavioral syndromes, including frontal lobe syndromes, hemispheric asymmetries, attention and confusional states, memory and amnesias, aphasia and related disorders, affective prosody and aprosodias, disorders of complex visual processing, and the dementias.

 Pediatric Neuropsychology Master Class

24 CE Credits (course begins August 25, 2025 ends November 17, 2025)

The 12-week NAN Pediatric Neuropsychology Master Class offers a comprehensive overview of key topics in pediatric neuropsychology, presented by leading experts in the field. The course is divided into three major domains:

  1. Introductory Topics – This section explores the scientific foundations and practical applications of pediatric neuropsychology, including cultural considerations. It covers neurodevelopment, fundamental principles of neuroimaging, assessment approaches for developing children, interactive feedback and intake strategies, and special considerations for young children and toddlers.
  2. Neurodevelopmental Conditions – Explores attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and autism spectrum disorder.
  3. Medical Conditions – Examines prematurity, spina bifida and hydrocephalus, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, epilepsy, demyelinating conditions, and congenital heart defects.

Throughout the course, presenters integrate key concepts related to development, brain-behavior relationships, and cultural considerations.

Clinical Neuroanatomy

30 CE Credits (course begins August 25, 2025 ends December 8, 2025)

The goal of this 15-week course is to provide students with a working knowledge of the basic neuroanatomic structures of the central nervous system including the motor system, somatosensory system, cranial nerves, cerebellum, basal ganglia, limbic structures, ventricles, meninges, and the vascular supply of the brain. After each major system, structure, or anatomical pathway is presented, the consequences of damage to that system will be presented. These are referred to as “Key Clinical Concepts” in your textbook and throughout these modules. Furthermore, clinical cases will be presented to help solidify the anatomical facts. In this fashion, the neuroanatomical details will take on clinical relevance, and thus a deeper appreciation of how the central nervous system operates will hopefully be attained.

COURSE REGISTRATION AND NAN MEMBERSHIP

NAN is pleased to offer reduced prices to our members. Membership in NAN is not required for participation. Individuals who wish to join NAN in order to register at the member rate should do so prior to course offering registration. As our online courses sometimes fill quickly, prospective members are encouraged to apply in advance, as membership applications take 2-3 weeks for processing.

ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE

To complete a NAN online course and earn continuing education credits, students must complete multiple choice examinations, earning a cumulative percentage >74% correct. The online system automatically records performance on our multiple-choice exams, which may be taken multiple times. Online course students must also participate in assigned course discussions and activities as judged by the instructor (see individual course syllabus for more information).

Upon successful completion of the formal course requirements, participants will receive CE credits from the National Academy of Neuropsychology. The National Academy of Neuropsychology is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The National Academy of Neuropsychology maintains responsibility for this program and its content.

CONTENT SHARING POLICY

By registering for a NAN CE offering, students agree that all online education presentations and content are intended for individual use and are not to be shared with others. Students should not copy or take screen shots of Q&A or any activity that takes place during online education.

ONLINE EDUCATION AVAILABILITY

Students will have access to OnDemand content, ACN Articles for CE and Book Series offerings for one year to receive CE Credit. Participants who attend Live Webinars will not be eligible to receive complimentary access to the recorded version, once it becomes available. Students registered for live webinar offerings who do not attend will be automatically enrolled in the recorded version once it becomes available.

ONLINE COURSE INCOMPLETE POLICY

Students who do not complete an online course may be eligible to re-enroll in a subsequent offering of that course before capacity limitations and registration deadlines have been met. However, the NAN DistanCE program does not guarantee that a course in which you have enrolled will be offered at a later date. Tuition for re-enrollment will be charged at full price based on membership status at time of registration. Tuition CANNOT be carried over to a future course offering.
