Bulletin vol. 28 no. 1 | 3 Contents The spring edition of the NAN Bulletin for 2014 focuses on epilepsy. Neuropsychologists have a longstanding history of contributing to the understanding of epilepsy through clinical care and research endeavors. As we build upon our past, we also strive to continually improve our methods of assessment and intervention so that we may improve outcomes of individuals with epilepsy. To that end, we have assembled a group of authors with a wealth of knowledge in epilepsy and whose work has influenced many of us who serve individuals with epilepsy. In addition, our Student Section focuses on board certification in neuropsychology. Representatives from the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN) and American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABN) have provided descriptions of their respective boards, which should be especially informative for interns, fellows, and practicing neuropsychologists who are looking ahead to board certification. Eric Rinehardt, Ph.D., ABPP/CN NAN Bulletin Associate Editor Opinions expressed by the authors and advertisers do not necessarily reflect the position of the National Academy of Neuropsychology.
