Fellowship Aims

Neurophysiology Testing

Provide a broad exposure to patients with neuromuscular and seizure disorders, needing neurophysiology testing in inpatient and outpatient settings.

  1. Electromyography and Nerve Conduction: Develop expertise in the interpretation of the spectrum of nerve conduction and electromyography studies, including repetitive nerve stimulation and single fiber EMGs studies.
  2. Electroencephalography: Develop expertise in interpretation of the entire spectrum of EEG studies (outpatient, ambulatory, video-EEG monitoring, ICU monitoring), and additional neurophysiological techniques relevant to epilepsy as electrocorticography, functional mapping, and cortical stimulation
  3. Evoked Potentials: Develop expertise in the interpretation of evoked potentials and intraoperative monitoring.
  4. Sleep studies: Develop expertise in interpretation of sleep studies


Mentorship
