Holding a Diplomate from the American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology (ABPP/CN) and elected Fellow status in the National Academy of Neuropsychology, Marc A. Norman, PhD serves as Professor of Psychiatry at UCSD and runs neuropsychological evaluations from the 200 West Arbor Drive medical complex in Hillcrest. As a member of the UCSD Epilepsy Team he performs intracarotid amytal procedures (Wada testing), intraoperative brain mapping and pre- and post-surgical cognitive evaluations that route surgical candidates between his testing room and the seizure-care workups handled at Neurology Medical Clinic. His clinical scope covers traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, dementia and pre-transplantation cognitive evaluations through UCSD's solid-organ transplant program. Norman also runs an active normative-data research line on neuropsychological test performance in Senior African American adults — work that improves diagnostic accuracy across regional memory clinics including the cognitive workups done out of UC San Diego Health Medical Offices South. He earned his PhD at Brigham Young University under Erin Bigler, completed the UCSD/VA psychology internship in 1995 and finished an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship with Dean Delis before joining the UCSD Psychiatry faculty. The most complex evaluations pair pre-surgical Wada testing on a temporal-lobe epilepsy candidate with concurrent screening for executive dysfunction, language lateralization and post-operative memory risk.
