Description:

The program involves working in the Clinical Electrodiagnostic Medicine Laboratory and evaluating patients with neuromuscular disorders in the outpatient clinic. During the first 2 months of the fellowship, the fellow participates with a Clinical Neurophysiology Review course which includes review of the basics of nerve conduction studies and needle examination and lectures covering the broad range of neuromuscular disorders. The fellow performs electrodiagnostic studies under the supervision of faculty with graduated responsibility throughout the year. In addition to the primarily adult population in our clinic, the fellow has exposure to special techniques including single fiber EMG; evoked potential studies, autonomic studies, and intraoperative monitoring. The fellow organizes the weekly Neuromuscular Conference. They will have opportunity to teach medical students and senior PMR residents. The fellow is encouraged to pursue one or more research projects during the year. The program is designed to exceed the requirements for electrodiagnostic training as defined by the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
