Noah Sideman joins BIAPA Board

Neuropsychologist Noah Sideman Has joined the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania’s Board of Directors. 

Dr. Sideman’s earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Dickinson College and a master’s degree in International Education from Framingham State University. From that point, his career focused on education and mental health, working as an English language teacher in Poland and in community mental health in Central Pennsylvania.

After time spent working in the field, he went on to receive his master’s degree and certification in School Psychology from Millersville University of Pennsylvania. This is where his exposure to the brain injury community began, working as a school psychologist in the Centennial School District in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for six years. Wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the brain processes at work in the children and adolescents he treated, he went on to pursue his doctoral degree in Psychology (with focus in neuropsychology and school psychology) from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). In his doctoral training, he was the first student to participate in a one-year practicum with BrainSTEPS in Bucks County, PA. He also participated in a research practicum and one-year pre-doctoral internship in clinical neuropsychology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s neurology department, and he became certified as a Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS). He then participated in a 2-year fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at both Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and the Center for Neuropsychology and Counseling. During that time, he conducted clinical research utilizing functional neuroimaging techniques and wet lab procedures investigating pediatric concussion, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.

I am deeply honored to serve on the board of an organization that has been such a guiding light, offering mentorship and education, in my career thus far.
