Our active seizure and surgery program performs several surgical cases a month, including focal temporal and extra-temporal resections and corpus callosotomies. The EEG fellow will be expected to concentrate initially on reading EEGs and evoked potentials in preparation for qualification by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology. One-two half days per week are spent seeing epilepsy patients at the Outpatient Clinical Office. The remainder of the time is spent participating in the intensive monitoring and surgical program, pursuing an independent research project, or both. The EEG Fellowship is generally for a period of one year, beginning July 1, with extension to two years of desired.
Stipends depend on the level of previous training and experience.
Candidates must have an M.D. degree or its equivalent, and be board eligible in Neurology to qualify. And Neuroimmunology There is currently a critical need for training of young investigators in the fields of Neurophysiology and Neuroimmunology. Because of the explosive increase in research activity in all areas of neuroscience during the past few years, the need for well-trained researchers is urgent. There is a particular need for close interaction and linkage between clinical and basic neuroscience research. The University of Maryland School of Medicine is uniquely able to provide intensive high quality training in both the clinical and basic aspects of neurophysiology and neuroimmunology to qualified applicants.
