To address workforce issues in professional geropsychology, clinical training sites must offer opportunities to build skills for working with older adults and aging families. Neuropalliative care (NPC) may offer a valuable learning environment for geropsychology trainees to develop professional competencies, while positively contributing to patient care. This article describes a novel clinical rotation for an advanced geropsychology trainee in an interdisciplinary specialty NPC clinic. A co-assessment model emerged as a useful strategy for integrating the trainee into the established NPC team. Two case examples illustrate the co-assessment's ability to enhance: collaboration within the clinic; psychological care for patients and care partners; and opportunities for the trainee to build competencies related to assessment, intervention, teams, and consultation. This paper concludes with a discussion of the benefits of NPC as a clinical training rotation for geropsychology trainees, as well as practical considerations for implementation in other clinics.
