Abstrakt: Objective In recent years, much attention has been focused on the delineation of basic competencies for education and training in clinical neuropsychology. Simultaneously, neuropsychology as a field has recognized the increasing need for the inclusion of cultural neuropsychology practices (AACN Relevance 2050). Method The Clinical Neuropsychology Synarchy (CNS) released a taxonomy for education and training in clinical neuropsychology in 2017, with individual and cultural diversity identified as an essential foundational competency across all specialties. Recommendations from the Education/Training workgroup of the 2017 Cultural Neuropsychology Summit provide initial guidance regarding the training of directors for the inclusion of cultural neuropsychology across the professional lifespan: including clinical, research, and education/training. Based on these recommendations, our program has developed a post-doctoral residency track focused on bilingual/multicultural neuropsychology. Outcomes The process by which our program integrates specific, knowledge-based, and applied competencies in cultural neuropsychology is presented. Discussion Suggestions on how to integrate recommendations into the existing education/training model for postdoctoral residency are provided, as well as a discussion of barriers and challenges in creating such a program.
