Program Overview
The Department of Neurology is committed to excellence in patient care and clinical teaching services. To that end, the training in the Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship is a major goal of departmental faculty. The department takes pride in its role as part of a university teaching hospital and gives teaching a high priority. The faculty believes that medicine is both a science and an art and recognizes that a rational scientific approach to patient treatment and care must be coupled with respect, empathy and a concern for both patient and family. Training is split between EMG/Neuromuscular and EEG/epilepsy.
