Moving abroad as a psychologist can be challenging as licensing requirements for clinical practice often differ by country and/or state. Dr. Christopher Benjamin completed his clinical training (MA and PhD) in Australia at the University of Melbourne and has since gone on to practise as a clinical neuropsychologist in the United States. He will share his expertise on navigating this transition and provide advice for getting licensed as a psychologist in the US after training overseas in Australia.
Dr. Benjamin is a clinical neuropsychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at Yale. He completed his PhD training in neuropsychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia; research fellowship training at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School Boston; and his clinical fellowship at the Semel Institute, University of California Los Angeles where he was the epilepsy fellow and Chief Fellow in neuropsychology. As a clinician he is a member of Yale's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center and he also sees adults with a range of neurological disorders. As a researcher his work focuses on how we can improve surgical planning to treat epilepsy and brain tumors.
