Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship

The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Program at Henry Ford Hospital is a one-year ACGME accredited training program that provides an extensive training in Clinical Neurophysiology. We also offer two year positions to interested individuals. The second (non-ACGME) year aims for further subspecialization and related clinical or basic research.

We offer five positions every year. On completion of the Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Program, the fellows gather far-reaching skills in one or more of the following:

• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies (NCS)
• Diagnostic electromyography (EMG)
• Single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG)
• Video/EEG monitoring
• Critical care monitoring (CCM)
• Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
• Evoked potential (EP) studies
• Sleep studies (PSG and MSLT)
• Electrodiagnostic movement disorder assessment
• Botox injections
• Muscle and nerve biopsies
• Testing of the autonomic functions

The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Program:

• The largest Comprehensive Epilepsy Center in Michigan. Our Level IV Epilepsy Center has 11 EMU beds (seven beds at the main campus in Detroit and four beds in Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital)
• An extremely busy EMG laboratory where we evaluate and treat a broad range of neuromuscular disorders
• An active MEG laboratory, responsible for some of benchmark research done in this field
• A program that has been consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report to be among the top centers for Neurology and Neurosurgery

Mission:

Our mission is to provide outstanding patient care; comprehensive education and extensive training with hands-on experience to fellows, and expand clinical research in the field of Clinical Neurophysiology.
