Description:  

There are two different fellowship opportunities. The first is a one year fellowship in electromyography and clinical neuromuscular disorders. The fellowship includes daily EMG sessions, one neuromuscular clinic session and one Inherited Neuropathy clinic weekly as well as in-patient consultation services. Over 1600 EMG studies are performed yearly and the fellows perform a minimum of 350 studies in the year. Training in Single Fiber EMG and Motor Unit Estimation studies is available. Conferences include neurophysiology lectures, electromyography conference and clinico-pathologic conference. Muscle and nerve biopsy reading sessions are scheduled with fellow participation. Clinical and/or basic science research opportunities are available.

The second fellowship is designed for those residents who intend to become general neurologists and who wish to be well trained in both EEG and EMG. This is a combined EEG/EMG fellowship in which 6 months is spent in each discipline. At least 200 EMG studies are performed during the 6 months. Evoked potential studies are reviewed with the EEG faculty. Some training in Sleep studies is included in the program. The fellows in this program are involved in the neuromuscular clinics during their EMG rotation and in Epilepsy Clinic during their EEG rotation.
