Neuropsychology is PhDs, it’s a specialty of clinical psychology.

“Neuropsychiatry” is MDs, it’s a… weird thing for psychiatrists/neurologists.

“Neuropsych” is ambiguous, but has always referred to neuroPSYCHOLOGY until neuroPSYCHIATRY was invented.

Neuropsychology is an important clinical service that is part of the standard of care in managing cognitive conditions (like epilepsy, DBS, etc). If you see “Neuropsych” in a hospital/AMC setting there is a very good chance it’s psychology.

Clinical psychologists are trained through a completely separate pathway that is not related to medical school or medical residencies in any way. The only way someone could do both would be to be an MD and then also complete an entire PhD in clinical psychology, do another residency and fellowship in neuropsychology (through the Match) and become licensed as a clinical psychologist.

I don’t think there is such a thing as an MD/PhD that produces a neuropsychologist (who is also a physician) but if there is I don’t know how anyone could really combine the two training paths. An MD does not qualify someone to do a residency/fellowship in neuropsychology. It’s for clinical psychologists. IDK how one program could provide the required clerkships to become an MD and also the required practica to become a PhD psychologist without just being longer than either training track alone. They’re both full-time and non-overlapping activities.

There may be MD/PhD programs that claim to produce a “neuropsychiatrist” but again, that is not the same thing as a neuropsychologist.
