41| Teleneuropsychology – With Dr. Munro Cullum - a podcast by John Bellone & Ryan Van Patten - NavNeuro

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting every corner of our world, and neuropsychology is certainly not immune from its effects.  In particular, many neuropsychological clinics have temporarily shut down operations in response to the widespread call for social distancing.  With this as the backdrop, we speak with Munro Cullum, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, about teleneuropsychology and telemedicine in general.  We distinguish between pre-COVID-19 teleneuropsychological evaluations, conducted in clinics and other controlled environments, and the current push for home-to-home teleneuropsychology.  We then dive into the details of teleneuropsychology, including topics such as research evidence for feasibility, reliability, and validity of this methodology, patient acceptability, environmental challenges, patient privacy and informed consent, and trainee clinical hours, among others.  Throughout the interview, Dr. Cullum summarizes the current literature and provides advice, tips, and guidance for interested researchers and clinicians.
