Dr. Smith, it's great to have you here. GUEST: Thank you for having me, I'm excited to be here. HOST: Let's start with you telling us a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to Forensic Neuropsychology.

It's a fascinating and complex field. HOST: Absolutely, and I believe this course is designed to equip professionals with advanced knowledge and skills in this area. Could you share some current industry trends relevant to Forensic Neuropsychology?

This includes areas like personal injury claims, criminal cases, and competency assessments. There's also increasing interest in the use of technology, such as digital neuropsychological assessments. HOST: That sounds fascinating. But I imagine there must be challenges in this field or while teaching this subject. Could you share some of those? GUEST: Certainly, one challenge is the need to balance scientific rigor with practical application. We want our students to understand the complexities of the brain and the law, but also to be able to conduct comprehensive evaluations and provide clear, evidence-based reports.
