Dr. Wilson's clinical activities are primarily focused on neuropsychological evaluation of adults (late adolescence through senior citizens) with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. She utilizes both the Halstead-Reitan and Boston process approaches to neuropsychological assessment. Specific areas of research interest include collaborative research on rural health disparities including psychiatric care access and stroke prevention as well as cognitive neuropsychological studies of older adults with dementia in regards to memory and competency. Professional interests include evaluation of postdoctoral and internship training programs and diversity issues.
