The Clinical Neurophysiology Training Program at the University of Vermont is a one-year postgraduate fellowship designed to provide detailed knowledge of clinical neurophysiology including anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, technical principles for the performance and analysis of electrophysiologic signals, and the interpretation of normal and abnormal neurophysiologic studies. The traineeship is clinically oriented, though fellows are expected to initiate a research project during their tenure. Training will be expected to meet the requirements for examination by the ABPN's Added Qualifications for Clinical Neurophysiology and the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. An optional additional 12 months of training may be pursued at the mutual discretion of the fellow and the Director of Clinical Neurophysiology.

The program is under the direction of Dr. Keith J. Nagle, M.D. The attending staff consists of five faculty who have subspecialty training and expertise in clinical neurophysiology working within a robust academic Department of Neurology. The Division of Clinical Neurophysiology serves the University of Vermont's College of Medicine and Fletcher Allen Health Care, the major tertiary medical center of Vermont and upstate New York. This large referral base and academic environment provides exposure to a broad range of patients, physicians and medical trainees. On an annual basis we perform and interpret nearly 4,000 examinations including EEG/EP; EMG/NC; polysomnography; intraoperative monitoring, ambulatory EEG monitoring, inpatient video-EEG monitoring; autonomic testing and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The emphasis of the training program is in epilepsy and central clinical neurophysiology. The fellow attends a weekly epilepsy clinic as well as providing inpatient consultation. Those seeking an emphasis in peripheral neurophysiology are urged to apply to our Neuromuscular Fellowship. Salary and benefits are commensurate with a PGY5 level.

Applicants must be graduates of an accredited training program in neurology in the U.S. or Canada and must be licensed or eligible for licensure by Vermont and New York State. The Division of Clinical Neurophysiology makes every effort to attract qualified women and minorities. The program prefers to receive applications by August 15 so that candidates can be reviewed, interviewed and a decision arrived at by October 1 of the year prior to initiation of the fellowship. Applications up to October 1 will be considered on a case by case basis. Further information about the training program and an application can be obtained by contacting:
