Thank you for your interest in the Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship. The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship in the Department of Neurology at UNM in Albuquerque trains fellows in the interpretation of central nervous system neurophysiology, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), video EEG, evoked potentials and sleep medicine.
The year-long program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). By the end of the program, fellows will be proficient in the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Training is available and required in electromyography, nerve conduction studies, intraoperative monitoring and polysomnography. Upon successful completion of the program, fellows will be eligible for the Added Qualifications Examination in Clinical Neurophysiology.
The UNM Comprehensive Epilepsy Program offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment protocols for medically refractory epilepsy. Procedures performed include:
Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in epilepsy surgery, clinical drug trials and NIH-funded research.
The UNM Clinical Neuromuscular Program has bases at both UNM Hospital and the VA Medical Center. Procedures performed include electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction velocity (NCV), single-fiber EMG, testing for motor and sensory reflexes and testing for autonomic function.
The program maintains a number of other programs including the Muscular Dystrophy Clinic. The Neuromuscular Program has also established the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Center. The UNM Sleep Disorders Clinic is an active tertiary referral center. The sleep laboratory performs overnight polysomnograms, multiple sleep latency tests and actigraphy on children and adults.
Fellows receive daily instruction under direct supervision. Formal weekly didactic sessions include:
On a rotating basis, fellows can attend a surgical neuropathy conference, a clinical anatomy lecture series, an EEG conference and Chairman's Rounds.
Fellows will benefit from our established research program. Study neurophysiology with our state-of-the-art neuroimaging technology including video and intracranial EEG, MEG, EP monitoring and PET scan. Our faculty are strong mentors in our collaborative research environment.
We will not consider any applicants who do not meet all of our qualifications. To apply to our program, we require you to:
