Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship
Overview
The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship is an ACGME-accredited, one-year program that is tailored to provide a strong foundation in EEG, EMG, IOM, and/or sleep. Our fellowship is designed to emphasize EEG reading skills with a nine-month emphasis covering our epilepsy monitoring unit, ICU EEG monitoring, and pediatric EEG studies, among other outpatient and inpatient EEG studies. Additional months provide opportunities for exposure to other clinical neurophysiology relevant fields as mentioned above.
