This one-year, ACGME-certified position is aimed at providing a broad education in the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and pathophysiological aspects of neuromuscular diseases. Fellows are eligible to sit for the ABPN Neuromuscular Boards and for the ABEM exam. Fellows learn the underlying physiology, methodology, and interpretation of standard neurophysiologic techniques, including standard needle electromyography, single-fiber electromyography, sensory and motor nerve conduction studies, H-reflex studies, F-wave studies, and analysis of changes in the waveforms of compound action potentials. Fellows learn how to interpret nerve and muscle biopsies.

Fellows learn about neuromuscular disease in a number of different contexts, including:

• Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic

• Multidisciplinary Nerve Injury Clinic

• Neuromuscular Clinics

• Muscle Pathology Conference

• MDA Clinic

• Fellow Conferences

The quality of our program is bolstered by the excellent fellows we recruit. Our fellows lead weekly didactic sessions, so their teaching efforts contribute to the exciting learning environment. Our fellows also learn a great deal from each other.
One distinct feature of our faculty is that many hold leadership roles in mentorship and teaching in the department and/or University. One faculty member leads the Academy of Medical Educators. Also, the director and assistant director of the adult neurology residency program are core neuromuscular faculty members.
Finally, training in San Francisco is a special experience. This city is chock-full of very smart, creative, and daring people. There is an incredible diversity among faculty, trainees, and staff in terms of cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It is a welcoming place for people of any sexual orientation or gender identity. The spirit of the gold rush never ended but now wild ambitions are channeled to achievements in technology, biotechnology, and medicine. Lastly, everything occurs in a place of stunning natural beauty. For many of us, we could not stand leaving our heart in San Francisco, so we decided to extend a few roots and stay.
