The Clinical Neuropsychology Synarchy (CNS) interfaces with the American Psychological Association and affiliated organizations to address issues and advances in specialty training. The past several years have seen the development and dissemination of several initiatives pertinent to specialty training. Among these initiatives was the creation of a taxonomy for education and training in clinical neuropsychology. In additional there has been a movement towards competency-based education that has become codified in the APA's new Standards for Accreditation. Calls for competency-based education have also influenced the expectations of the APA's Committee on Recognition of Specialties and Proficiencies in Professional Psychology. As the convener of national clinical neuropsychology organizations the CNS has overseen the development of relevant documents for our specialty. This paper presents three documents critical to training in our field that were developed through the CNS and approved by its member organizations. The first is the Taxonomy for Education and Training in Clinical Neuropsychology. The second is Entry Level Competencies for Clinical Neuropsychology and the third is a distillation of the entry-level competency document for the purpose of identifying competencies to be addressed at the post-doctoral residency level.
临床神经心理学协同组织（CNS）与美国心理学会及附属组织合作，以解决专业培训中的问题并推动其发展。在过去几年中，出现了几项与专业培训相关的举措并得到推广。这些举措包括创建了临床神经心理学教育与培训分类法。此外，还出现了向基于能力的教育的转变，这已被编入美国心理学会新的认证标准。基于能力的教育呼声也影响了美国心理学会专业心理学专业与技能认可委员会的期望。作为全国临床神经心理学组织的召集方，CNS监督了为我们这个专业制定相关文件的工作。本文介绍了通过CNS制定并经其成员组织批准的对我们领域培训至关重要的三份文件。第一份是临床神经心理学教育与培训分类法。第二份是临床神经心理学入门级能力要求，第三份是入门级能力文件的提炼，目的是确定博士后住院医师阶段要解决的能力要求。
