Training in Muscle/Nerve Biopsies and Autonomic Testing

Anonymous12/2/24 8:00 AM (CST)

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

It seems that many practices want a NM neurologist to perform autonomic testing and muscle/nerve biopsies. 

How would a neuromuscular practitioner/fellow obtain training in this if not offered by the fellowship in which they were/are trained? Also where can one be trained to do core needle muscle biopsies?

Thank you so much for your time.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
