ACGME Fellowship Opportunities
If one of these fellowships interests you, contact our fellowship coordinator or the fellowship director listed below. Please include your name, phone, fax, e-mail, or some combination of these.
Director: Candice J. Perkins, M.D.
Fellowship period: 1-2 years
Requirements: Board eligible
Description: Our ACGME accredited Vascular Neurology program integrates the management of ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease in a JCAHO and Department of Health designated Stroke Center, with a unique patient care database application and a dedicated echo planar research MRI for diffusion and perfusion imaging, supplemented with non-invasive neurovascular evaluation. Faculty is board certified in Vascular Neurology.
There are multiple acute care and preventive clinical trials as well as a variety of laboratory imaging research. The stroke service works closely with neuroradiology, neurosurgery, and medicine to implement interventional and acute care services. Collaborative and independent research by the Fellow are strongly encouraged, especially if the available second year is elected. This is a unique opportunity to practice academic medicine in a beautiful seaside environment. Interested candidates should send CV and contact:

Requirements: Board Eligible
Description: A one-year fellowship in clinical Neurophysiology. Training includes EMG, adult, pediatric and neonatal EEGs, ambulatory and video/EEG monitoring, evoked potentials and polysomnography. Clinical research opportunities and experience in a comprehensive epilepsy program are available. Board eligibility in Neurology is required. The fellowship is leads to board eligibility for ABCN and ABPN/Clinical Neurophysiology. A combined EEG/EMG 2 year fellowship would be considered.Contact: Mary R. Andriola, M.D.

Multiple Sclerosis/Neuroimmunology
Director: Lauren Krupp, M.D.
Fellowship Period: 1-2 years
Requirements: At least one year in an ACGME accredited neurology residency
Description: A one or two-year fellowship in multiple sclerosis is available in the Department of Neurology at Stony Brook University Medical Center sponsored through an Empire Clinical Research Investigator Program (ECRIP Fellowship) and outside funding. The fellowship offers clinical and research experience in the evaluation and treatment of adults and children with multiple sclerosis and related disorders (e.g. acute disseminated encephalomyelitis). The fellowship includes some course work related to research (e.g. statistics, clinical trial design), as well as participation in investigator and industry sponsored clinical trials. In addition to treatment studies, current programatic research focuses on the cognitive, neurobehavioral, and mood related aspects of multiple sclerosis in adults and children. Other investigations are directed at defining biomarkers of the disease using advanced neuroimaging. Fellows will be encouraged to have individual projects and present their findings at national meetings. There will also be extensive exposure to clinical assessment and management of individuals with multiple sclerosis. The program incorporates a multidisciplinary approach including neurology, psychiatry, and neuropsychology. Past candidates at the completion of the fellowship have either pursued academic careers or joined clinical practices in which expertise in multiple sclerosis was sought. Most have gone on to direct their own multiple sclerosis centers. Applicants should have at least one year or more of training in an approved residency in Neurology.
