The International Liaison is committed towards promoting excellence in neuropsychological testing, interpretation, and intervention across the diverse cultural and linguistic context of Asia to ensure ethical and culturally sensitive practices within the field. We aim to:
- Become an apex body that could ideally offer professional trainings, teaching and certification programs through didactics teaching, examination, CE credits, case consults and presentations for neuropsychologists of Asian descent to enhance and improve their clinical knowledge base and competence through the development of general guidelines and practice standards that can be adapted into the local context of Asia.
- Build connections with existing neuropsychological organizations across Asia to facilitate collaborations in education, clinical training, research, and other initiatives.
- Strengthen support for professional members in the international community by increasing their participation within ANA.

Elizabeth Choi, PhD — Co-Chair
Dr. Liz Choi is a clinical and forensic neuropsychologist based in private practice in the Bay Area, California. She obtained her PhD at Palo Alto University specializing in adult neuropsychology, completed her residency at NYU Langone Rusk Rehabilitation, and a two-year neuropsychology fellowship at UC San Francisco/ZSFG. Her career spans two continents: she began as a clinical psychologist in Hong Kong — where she also taught and built her professional foundations — before relocating to the United States for doctoral training. A dedicated advocate for international trainees, she has served in leadership roles within the international student community and continues to mentor those navigating the distinctive demands of neuropsychology training in a new country. Dr. Choi also consults with assessment raters in Mainland China and Taiwan, provides case consultations in Hong Kong, and her forensic practice includes medico-legal evaluations in the Chinese language.
