The nearby UT-affiliated Research Imaging Center provides complete neuroimaging support including volumetric and spectroscopic MRI and quantitative PET scans. The Epilepsy Center is presently staffed by three epileptologists, two fellows, and two epilepsy nurse coordinators. A position is available for a physician with epilepsy experience. Extensive support by a team of nurses, psychologists, pharmacist, and other staff allows you to concentrate on providing the best possible care. Scholarly pursuits are encouraged without the pressure to publish or secure grants to support salary.
Research involving antiepileptic drugs is the focus of the training program.
Epilepsy serves as the primary neurological problem under study but there are opportunities to work with other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. The fellowship prepares a clinical scientist capable of developing an independent research program. The fellowship emphasizes extensive involvement in drug research, including laboratory and clinical investigations. The fellow will work on project design and execution, analytical methods, data modeling and analysis, and manuscript preparation. The fellowship may be combined with the graduate program in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology.
