The aim of this ACGME-accredited Clinical Neurophysiology Training Program at SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University is to provide the physician with extensive, high-quality training in clinical neurophysiology. The Training Program is based upon a one-year format. Sufficient flexibility has been built-in to permit maturation of individual talents within the broad range of the clinical neurophysiology field. It is realized that to achieve the goals of training clinical neurologists, as well as accommodating those who will pursue careers as physician-scientists, a wide range of expertise must be represented. The breadth of our staff interests provides such a range of interest and experience. The cornerstone of training is the development of sound clinical judgment, and includes the ability to recognize and treat patterns of neurologic dysfunction, as well as excellent interpersonal skills involving patients and members of the health care team. The primary goals of Clinical Neurophysiology training are to give the fellows adequate exposure and training in two of the following: EEG/LTMs and EMGs. At the end of one year of fellowship, the fellow is eligible to appear for the ABPN Clinical Neurophysiology subspecialty board, provided he/she has fulfilled other requirements (i.e. board certification in Neurology/Child Neurology).
The EMG/Neuromuscular track is done at the EMG laboratories of SUNY Downstate and Kings County Hospital Center, ensuring exposure to a broad spectrum of neurophysiological techniques. Trainees perform and interpret EMG and related studies, including motor control physiology, magnetic stimulation, and autonomic nervous system testing. Clinical experience in neuromuscular disorders is acquired through inpatient consultations and participation in the weekly half-day MDA Neuromuscular Clinic at SUNY Downstate.
