With #APPIC internship interview season here, I wanted to share a🧵of Qs I wish I asked to assess work/life balance at sites. #NeuropsychTwitter
This is such an important aspect of QoL during the internship year, but I was nervous to ask too many questions/wasn’t what to ask!

- Do interns take a lunch break/encouraged to or do you have meetings scheduled during this time?
- Is “research time” = report writing time?
- Do supervisors end meetings on time or regularly run over?

- How far in advance are clinics scheduled (this'll clue you into how easy it'll be to take PTO)
- When people take sick days and/or PTO are they still remotely working, joining meetings, etc. or truly taking time off?

Because of #COVID19 educational disruption, it's now hard to tell whether low academic achievement scores are due to lack of instruction or a true learning disorder. So how do we handle diagnosis and keep vulnerable kids from falling through the cracks?
1. Integrate clinical history with the science of learning disorders. We know that learning disorders are brain-based developmental conditions that run in families. We also know common risk factors - so we need to ask about them.
2. DSM-5 criteria should be revised to allow for provisional LD diagnoses. During COVID19, many kids haven't had access to 6 months of remediation or uninterrupted academic instruction, and may have faced psychosocial adversity. These factors shouldn't preclude intervention.

I feel like it's “time” for a shoddily-organized scratching-the-surface #neuropsychtwitter #tweetorial on clock drawing in dementia. 1/x
I will focus on the most common (or arguably best) version of the clock drawing test (CDT): command (free) drawing of a “10 after 11” clock followed by copy of a clock stimulus. 2/x
The first documented use of CDT was by Sir Henry Head. Per Hazan et al. 2017: “Head's reasoning behind using the clock tests was that they required the execution of meaningful speech, an almost impossible task for people with aphasia.” 3/x bit.ly/3mJDVrb
