NVSU (Neurology Vocational Service Unit) offers a variety of academic and professional training options for rehabilitation professionals.

Professional Symposia (on site or your site) Each year our program presents from three to seven professional training symposia.  These are one to three day presentations which are designed for rehabilitation professionals and graduate level students. They include intensive reviews of various aspects of vocational rehabilitation practice, with a focus on neurological populations.  Recent topics include " Current Practices in Neurological Vocational Rehabilitation", "Multiple Sclerosis Vocational Rehabilitation", and "TBI Vocational Rehabilitation".  Presentations are made both to general audiences, and specific groups on an invited basis (i.e. state rehabilitation counselors, individual graduate school presentations, etc.). In recent years, programs have been conducted for the Rehab Institute of Chicago, the Ontario Brain Injury Association, the states of Delaware, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and other organizations. 

Rehabilitation Internships -- These are six to nine month practica which are offered in connection with formal academic programs in vocational rehabilitation or allied fields.  Participants are generally masters or doctoral level students who are nearing the end of their academic studies and wish to have an experience in applied rehabilitation practice.  Rehabilitation Internships are frequently used to satisfy the practicum or internship requirements of a student's academic program.  They may be used to satisfy requirements of supervision by certified rehabilitation counselors in the course of a student's training.  Rehabilitation Internships are negotiated on an individual basis with interested students. Graduate level credits at the University of Washington may be earned via participation in vocational rehabilitation internships in our internship programs.

Post Doctoral Internships -- Persons seeking Post Doctoral Internships are generally graduates of psychology programs who are interested in developing specific expertise in the area of vocational rehabilitation, and who are interested in satisfying licensure requirements.  Dr. Fraser offers individual supervision for each of these goals.  A general internship is offered, although prospective interns are encouraged to identify and pursue individual areas of interest (e.g., applied neuropsychology, research, specific population foci). Graduate level credits at the University of Washington may be earned via participation in vocational rehabilitation internships in our programs.
