| The Department of Neurological Sciences at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL offers a one-year Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship or one-year Epilepsy Fellowship, both which are ACGME-accredited. The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship program focuses on electroencephalography and electromyography, with one-month elective opportunities in sleep medicine or evoked potentials. The Epilepsy Fellowship program focuses on non-invasive as well as invasive long-term EEG monitoring with stereo EEG. We are currently seeking qualified applicants to fill one fellowship position for academic year 2026-2027 for either a year of Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship or a year of Epilepsy Fellowship. The CNP fellowship is overseen by a core Neuromuscular and Epilepsy faculty of ten physicians, is unique in its cooperative clinical and didactic relationship with the John H Stroger Jr Hospital’s Department of Neurology and exposure to multidisciplinary MDA and ALS Clinics at Rush as well as specialized epilepsy clinics including a dietary clinic, women’s clinic, neuromodulation clinic, and comprehensive older adults’ clinic. In addition, fellows will be well trained in routine EEGs, long term continuous EEG monitoring in both intensive care unit and epilepsy monitoring unit settings and will have exposure and training in pediatric EEG. The Epilepsy Fellowship is overseen by 6 core epilepsy faculty, 1 EEG trained neurointensivist, 2 pediatric epileptologists and 1 PhD. The fellowship consists of rotations in the 8 bed adult EMU as well as training in long term EEG for those patients in intensive care units. There is also ample surgical opportunities with training in sEEG and several comprehensive clinics that includes an epilepsy dietary clinic, a women’s neurology epilepsy clinic, an older adults clinic as well as a Spanish speaking clinic. This fellow would join 1 other Epilepsy Fellow, 2 Clinical Neurophysiology fellows, and 1 Neuromuscular fellow and communicate closely with other trainees in the specialties of Neuro-Intensive Care, Movement Disorders, Neuro-Immunology, and Vascular, creating excellent fellow level comradery. In 2024, U.S. News & World Report ranked Rush University Medical Center No. 7 in the country for neurology and neurosurgery and was No. 1 in Illinois for neurology and neurosurgery.
