Clinical Neurophysiology

The clinical neurophysiology fellowship program at Penn State University College of Medicine is a one-year training program. Candidates must have completed an ACGME approved residency in Neurology. Fellowship training in neurophysiology is provided by full-time neurology faculty.

The fellowship provides yearlong training in EMG/neuromuscular diseases and EEG, evoked potentials, and epilepsy. The fellow will also have clinical exposure to sleep disorders over the year (in collaboration with the Department of Psychiatry). Details of the training program are covered in the curriculum.
