| The MedStar Health—Georgetown University Hospital Fellowship Program in Epilepsy provide unique opportunities to gain a breadth of exposure within the field while developing a strong foundation in the fellow’s primary area of focus. This fellowship focuses on the diagnosis and management of epilepsy patients, as well as routine and special electroencephalography (EEG) techniques. The medical and surgical management of epilepsy are covered in weekly clinics. Advanced neuroimaging, including PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and functional MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), are available for seizure focus localization and functional mapping. Epilepsy fellows also receive training in neurostimulation device programming (vagus nerve stimulators, responsive neuro stimulator and deep brain stimulator) as well as interpretation of depth electrode recordings. Completion of a research project is expected of all fellows. | |
