Clinical Experience and Expectations
Under the direct supervision of highly-qualified faculty, fellows will be provided ample time for clinical practice, instruction, and training. During this time, the fellow is able to develop the necessary skills and positive professional attitudes essential for the highest quality patient care and for independent practice.
Fellows will spend time at Albert B. Chandler Hospital in the epilepsy monitoring unit as well as the associated neurophysiology labs that provide outpatient and inpatient services within affiliated sites of University of Kentucky.
Outpatient experience Is offered at the Kentucky Neuroscience Clinic that offers comprehensive care for varying complexities of epilepsy and neuromuscular patients. Fellows completing the program will be board eligible for subspecialty certification in Clinical Neurophysiology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). An optional second year of fellowship training in epilepsy is available, and optimal for candidates preparing for an academic practice in a tertiary center.
The combined two-year fellowship program offers a greater opportunity to become proficient in advanced neurophysiologic techniques. Second-year fellows are expected to complete an independent research project for presentation at a national meeting and publication.
