Minimum Qualifications
Applicants for the Neuro-Immunology Fellowship Program must make a one to two-year commitment in clinical neurology and neurolaboratory research.
Neuro-Immunology Program Description
Fellowships are available on annual basis for one to two years and are open to a neurologist preparing for a career in Neuro-Immunology. The first year of training focuses on the clinical and clinical research program, developing the skills necessary to diagnose, treat, manage and conduct clinical research in the broad population of inflammatory disease of the nervous system. If desired, the fellow can develop an opportunity for a focused laboratory experience beginning in the second year of the fellowship, or can pursue research in the clinical and neuroimaging arenas.
Clinical Duties
The fellow will join the Neuro-Immunology team with responsibilities that include patient care in a busy neuro-immunology clinic, which provides care to patients with a variety of inflammatory conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous system. In addition, the fellow plays an integral role in the clinical research program and will have ample opportunity to participate in the design of clinical studies, development of clinical research protocols including funding and IRB proposals and participate in the initiation of a clinical trials program and function in a management capacity for individual trials overseeing the activities of a comprehensive clinical and clinical research team.
