Candidates
Candidates should be in the process of successfully completing a Neurology residency, and have a major interest in clinical neurophysiology (e.g., EEG/Epilepsy or EMG/Neuromuscular disease or both). Beyond fellowship, they may have practice or academic aspirations. Either way, this ACGME-accredited fellowship meets eligibility requirements for the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) sub-specialty board in Clinical Neurophysiology.
