Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowships

Accredited Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowships

We offer several kinds of fellowship positions within the clinical neurophysiology training program, as described below. Clinical sites are NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell Campus), Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, The Hospital for Special Surgery, and the Peripheral Neuropathy Center of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College. An additional non-ACGME fellowship position in electromyography and neuromuscular disease is occasionally offered by the Peripheral Neuropathy Center.

Comprehensive training in clinical neurophysiology appropriate for ABPN-CN certification is provided to all fellows. The program is designed primarily for applicants with a strong interest in a specific aspect of clinical neurophysiology. Subspecialty options include: (i) EEG and epilepsy, (ii) EEG and epilepsy with added emphasis in intraoperative monitoring, (iii) EEG and epilepsy with added emphasis in pediatric epileptology, and (iv) EMG and neuromuscular disease (this is not available in 2008-2009). Note that the program is not intended for training in "general" clinical neurophysiology. Applicants are required to indicate and substantiate their area of subspecialty interest in the letter of intent.

Although the ACGME-accredited portion of training is one year, we are particularly interested in individuals who are interested in two years of training. The second (non-ACGME) year consists of further subspecialization and related clinical research.

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital currently will sponsor the following kinds of visas: J1 (ECFMG), F1 (student), and O (Canada).
