SINR Seminars

The SINR Seminar is a monthly virtual seminar that provides clinically relevant didactics and training in neuropsychological rehabilitation. Topics range from didactic presentations germane to neuropsychological rehabilitation to case studies. The vision of the SINR Seminar is to create more learning and community-building opportunities within the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation.

The monthly SINR Seminar takes place on the second Wednesday each month from 12 to 1pm EST. Monthly seminars are sponsored and organized by the SINR Education Committee. Seminar attendance is now eligible for CE credit (1.0 CE) through the American Psychological Association (APA)!

Starting February 2026, CE credits will be offered at the following rate for each seminar:

  • $30 for Non-Members
