The fellowship at UIHC offers 1 year of clinical training which provides a strong education in diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric autoimmune and infectious neurological diseases for either academic or community-based practice careers. The fellow sees patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings:
Outpatient setting:
- Fellow continuity of care clinics: staffed by one of the neuroimmunology faculty
- Electives: option to rotate through our state-of-the-art clinics and diagnostic services
- Neuro-ophthalmology clinic
- Rheumatology clinic
- Neuropathology rotation
- Neuroradiology rotation
Inpatient exposure:
- We have established a “super-consult” system
- Our inpatient neurology teams (general neurology, consults, stroke and pediatric neurology) will request consultation for complicated and rare neurological disorders
- Consults are staffed with one of the neuroimmunology faculty
- Patients are often seen back in the fellow’s continuity of care clinic, offering valuable longitudinal follow-up through the different phases of their illness
- Electives: option to rotate with our infectious diseases consultation team
