Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Brain Imaging

For those candidates with electrical neuroimaging and/or fMRI training and clinical experience in brain mapping, responsibilities will include interpreting resting and active state brain mapping results. Active electrical neuroimaging is completed via cognitive event potential during neuropsychological testing. Training in resting state and functional neuroimaging for those qualified candidates is also an option for those pediatric neuropsychologists interested in this area of clinical neurodiagnostics.

For those candidates with prior director-level experience, job entry at the associate-director level for the Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic and Treatment Center at NCBI is a possibility. We are also willing to train a seasoned clinician for this role for those who are seeking a higher level of responsibility in addition to providing direct care.

Clinical Research

Additionally, there are plenty of opportunities to work as a sub-investigator or PI (for those candidates with the appropriate research experience) on one or more clinical research studies. Clinical research trials include neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and drug treatment trials across a number of clinical neuroscience studies. We have a long-history of conducting both private-company sponsored as well as investigator initiated clinical research studies. We strongly support the clinical research interests of our investigators.

Inpatient Consultations

Consultation and Liaison inpatient services are available for those candidates interested in performing inpatient work.

Supervision

Supervisory responsibilities are available for those interested in supervising, externs, interns, post-doctoral residents, and fellows in clinical neuropsychology, technicians, and mental health clinicians.

Patient Population

All patients coming into this center receive initial intakes/biopsychosocial histories, neurosensory, neurobehavioral, psychiatric, and functional assessments, and comprehensive neuropsychological testing. Specialized assessments include evaluations for Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Language Disorders, Intellectual Disorders, Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, ANS disorders as well as specialized evaluations for other neuropsychiatric syndromes and disorders.

Other neurodiagnostic procedures include brain mapping using resting and active electrical neuroimaging for pediatric and adolescent patients to help confirm the cortical dysfunction hypotheses generated by the cortical functional assessment. Additionally, metabolic, micronutrient, genetic, and other labs are often used in the diagnostic workup. Treatments available at NCBI are plentiful and include, behavioral therapy, individual, group, and family psychotherapies, cognitive rehabilitation and SPL therapy, psychotropic medications, behavioral health interventions, and non-invasive neuromodulation treatments approved for conditions such as ADHD.

As described below, we have 5 centers represented at each of our 4 outpatient centers in New Jersey that serve patients and their families presenting with neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, sleep, and neurodegenerative disorders as well as with acquired and traumatic brain injuries. Common disorders diagnosed and treated at NCBI include ADHD, Autism, neuropsychiatric syndromes secondary to acquired and traumatic brain injuries, mood disorders, somatoform disorders, OCD and Tourette’s syndrome, as well as psychotic and personality disorders, sleep disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
