Fellows in the Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship at Dell Medical School perform and interpret studies and care for patients across many different training sites, including an in-hospital epilepsy monitoring unit, outpatient private clinics, outpatient public clinics and sleep/intraoperative monitoring laboratories.
Curriculum Components
Fellows spend five months each on electromyography/neuromuscular and electroencephalography/epilepsy rotations. In addition, fellows have experiences in sleep medicine, IOM and neuromuscular biopsy. This breadth of experience allows the fellows to learn from multiple attendings across a diverse patient population.
The schedule breaks down as:
- EMG/neuromuscular: 5 months
- EEG/epilepsy: 5 months
- Sleep medicine/IOM: 1 month
- Vacation: 3 weeks
Research
Fellows are also expected to satisfy research requirements, including presenting at regional or national neurophysiology conferences and completing a quality improvement project by the end of their training.
