The mission is to provide comprehensive evaluation services meeting the needs of current and future aviators and Air Traffic Control Specialists.

Aerospace Neuropsychology is a specialized discipline that assesses the aeromedical impact and significance of mental and cognitive disorders. It is the responsibility of the HIMS neuropsychologist to examine the pilot (or prospective pilot) for psychologically excluding conditions and aeromedically significant neurocognitive deficits. These assessments are in the context of the aviation standards as defined in the Federal Air Regulations.
Dr. Conroy is a psychologist licensed to practice in the States of South Carolina and New Jersey. Services will soon be offered in a Georgia satellite office. Dr. holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and earned diplomates from the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology and the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains stringent physical and mental health criteria, and there are problems and conditions defined in the Federal Air Regulations with which pilots may not fly. Common referrals include pilots who have been prescribed one of several SSRI antidepressant medications, HIV-seropositive pilots, pilots recovering from alcohol/substance abuse or dependence, pilots recovering from a neurological condition such as a mild head injury or cerebrovascular condition, and applicants with a history of ADHD or who have been prescribed medications used to treat ADHD. In other instances, testing may be required due to problems that became apparent during pilot training, upgrading, transitioning between aircraft, or during proficiency training.
The testing often includes a combination of traditional neurocognitive assessments, CogScreen Aeromedical Edition (AE2) assessment, and/or objective psychological assessment. The neuropsychological testing involves both computerized and one-on-one assessment of skills that are considered important for the cognitive demands of flight including attention, focus, sustained attention, distractibility, memory, visual-spatial skills, auditory perception, perceptual speed, rapid motor responses, decision-making, and the ability to rapidly process information. The CogScreen AE2 is a computer-administered screening instrument developed for the FAA as a measure of cognitive functioning that can impact operational performance during flight. The assessment will also include a detailed record review and possible interview with family members and professional colleagues. The FAA has developed several testing protocols specifying what tests are required at a minimum. Neuropsychological assessment ranges from 2-8+ hours. The longer assessments can often be completed in one full dy; it may require an additional day depending on the required nature and scope of assessment and the individual’s status and tolerance for assessment.

Neuropsychology is the scientific study of brain-behavior relationships. The knowledge is used to evaluate and treat individuals having, or suspected of having neurological problems impacting on development, learning, behavior, cognitive functioning, and social-emotional development.
A neuropsychologist is a psychologist who specializes in evaluating and treating individuals who are thought to have a problem in the way their brains are functioning. A neuropsychologist has had education and training related to the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system. A neuropsychologist also has had specific training in evaluating and treating different kinds of central nervous system disorders.
A FAA required neuropsychological evaluation is prescriptive and may include evaluation of the following areas:
As part of the neuropsychological assessment a comprehensive history is taken which includes information regarding pregnancy, birth, health, development, education, and day-to-day functioning.
