ϰϲͼ Department of Neurology Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship
Welcome from the Program Director, Dr. David Shirilla
Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship
This ϰϲͼ Department of Neurology fellowship program will be conducting virtual interviews.
Desired training focus for Clinical Neurophysiology can vary significantly from one fellow to the next. Our program is structured to allow our fellows to prioritize a track that best suits their career goals. The three most popular tracks include EEG-focused training, EMG/NCS-focused training, or a more traditional track, with balanced focus between these two primary disciplines. All fellows, regardless of their primary focus, will spend one month in the adult epilepsy monitoring unit, one month in the pediatric epilepsy monitoring unit, and one month in the EMG/NCV laboratory. Elective experiences in the autonomics lab, sleep medicine, magnetoencephalography (MEG), intraoperative monitoring (IOM), and evoked potentials (EPs) are also offered. Research-focused elective rotations are also available.
Mentorship is a key component of any successful training program and is a major focus for our program. My goal as Fellowship Director, is to provide trainees with the needed neurophysiologic testing exposure and guidance; thereby ensuring they sufficiently develop the desired skills to prepare for their future. This may mean entering directly into practice after fellowship or transitioning to a second year of fellowship in a related field such as Epilepsy or Neuromuscular Medicine.
Training occurs at our three affiliated hospitals in Milwaukee: (tertiary care hospital for adults), (tertiary care hospital for children), and the (tertiary hospital within the VA system).
Through this program, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse set of faculty members.
