Both her internship at the Medical University of South Carolina and her postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University were specialized in Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology. She is board certified in Clinical Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology.
Dr. Kortte’s clinical work focuses on assessment and treatment of adults with neurological disorders, with particular expertise in working with individuals with traumatic brain injuries. She is the Director of the Outpatient NeuroRehabilitation Program (ONRP), which is an interdisciplinary program focused on community integration and active life participation for individuals with brain dysfunction. Her research interests include unawareness syndromes (anosognosia and denial of illness) and psychological factors that facilitate adaptive functioning and positive outcomes following onset of neuropathology. She currently has NIH funding to study unawareness syndromes in the early phases of recovery following stroke.
