This fellowship is a one-year program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Candidates must be board eligible or board certified in neurology.

This fellowship provides the opportunity for training and experience in the following areas:

• Performing and interpreting electroencephalograms (EEG)
• Performing and interpreting evoked potential studies (median nerve, posterior tibial nerve, auditory and visual)
• Intensive 24-hour video EEG monitoring
• 24-hour ambulatory monitoring
• Reading diagnostic nocturnal polysomnograms and multiple sleep latency tests in the UC Davis Medical Center Sleep Disorders Laboratory
• Performing and interpreting electromyographs (EMG) and nerve conduction studies

The UC Davis Medical Center Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory and the Sleep Disorders Laboratory are fully accredited by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the American Sleep Disorders Association, respectively. EMG training, neuromuscular disorders and sleep disorders facilities are also provided at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Sacramento and the Northern California Shriners Hospital. Pediatric EMG is performed under the supervision of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the evaluation of adult and pediatric patients with seizure disorders, including the epilepsy clinic, review of EEG video recordings and the presurgical work-up of patients with medically refractory seizures. There will also be opportunities to attend epilepsy surgical procedures requiring intra-operative monitoring.

Fellows will also engage in research and patient care. The research focus is related to the areas of training and mutually agreed upon. Fellows are assigned to patient-care activities in the epilepsy and neuromuscular disease clinics.

The combined EEG/EM fellowship will prepare fellows for the Added Qualifications in Clinical Neurophysiology examination of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology Inc.

Candidates must be board eligible or board certified in neurology, have a California license or be licensable in California.
