About The Position

The Behavioral Health Division at Essentia Health in Fargo is hiring a neuropsychologist to join a small congenial neuropsychology team and provide clinical neuropsychological examinations including evaluation and assessment, treatment, education, and consultation with the goal of supporting patients to achieve optimal functioning. This is a clinical neuropsychology practice primarily located in an outpatient medical setting at Essentia’s South University Clinic in Fargo. Referral sources include neurology, interventional neurology, primary care, speech language pathology, occupational therapy, psychiatry, psychology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. Conditions seen include a wide range of neurodevelopmental conditions, acquired and traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, cancer, complex psychiatric conditions, and frequent differential diagnoses of neurodegenerative diseases. The role also involves the provision of consultation and education to medical colleagues, family members, and others. Essentia Health is continuing the expansion of its neuropsychology services, including ongoing outreach services and additional expansion to accept referrals from a wider range of departments and directly from community sources. The position is generalist in nature, but opportunities exist to develop specific areas of practice in concert with foundational neuropsychologist duties. The patient basis includes individuals from a wide range of backgrounds with an emphasis on patients living in rural communities. A high degree of customer service and rapport building skills are necessary in order to establish and maintain positive relationships with patients, colleagues, and coworkers across departments. Neuropsychology is supported by psychometry, requiring the skill and desire to oversee and participate in the training of new psychometrists. Essentia Health will be an APA-accredited internship site (expected fall of 2026), and opportunities for supervision of pre-doctoral interns may be available.
