Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Match
The Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Match includes the following subspecialties:
Epilepsy
Epilepsy specialists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy, seizures and seizure disorders including new-onset, medically refractory epilepsy, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, and epilepsy in special populations. Epilepsy is a multidisciplinary field that provides comprehensive care of the patient. Additional information can be found through the American Epilepsy Society.
Applicants must have completed a residency in Neurology or Child Neurology.
1-2yr
Epilepsy fellowships are one or two years in length. Many institutions combine a one-year epilepsy fellowship with a second year in research, Sleep Medicine, or Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology
Clinical Neurophysiology (CNS) focuses on the assessment of function of the central and peripheral nervous system for the purpose of diagnosing and treatment of neurologic disorders. The CNP procedures commonly used include EEG, EMG, evoked potentials, polysomnography, epilepsy monitoring, intraoperative monitoring, evaluation of movement disorders, and autonomic nervous system testing. Additional information can be found through the American Society of Clinical Neurophysiology.
Applicants must have completed a residency in Neurology or Child Neurology.
1yr
Clinical Neurophysiology programs are one year in length. Many programs combine a one-year Clinical Neurophysiology fellowship with a one-year Epilepsy fellowship.
