Abstract: 

This workshop provides a comprehensive overview of the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology (ABPdN) boarding process, with a focused examination of the practice sample component. As a cornerstone of board certification, the practice sample demonstrates a candidate’s clinical reasoning, assessment skills, and ethical decision-making processes. Participants will gain insights into the evaluation criteria, common challenges, and exemplary practices that support fair and rigorous review. Designed for current evaluators and prospective examiners, the session will also introduce training protocols and recruitment strategies to expand the pool of qualified reviewers. Through case-based discussion and interactive exercises, attendees will enhance their ability to assess practice samples and contribute to the integrity of the certification process.

Objectives:

1. Describe the role of the practice sample in the ABPdN Boarding process

2. Discuss the practice sample guidelines and the new reviewer scoring guidelines

3. Apply the reviewer guidelines to practice samples

4. Recognize common challenges and exemplary practices

5. Demonstrate readiness to serve as an ABPdN examiner
