Clinical neurophysiology (CNP) is an area of medicine in which selected neurological disorders involving central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems and muscles are assessed, monitored, and treated using a combination of clinical evaluation and electrophysiological testing.
The Department of Neurology is pleased to offer an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited fellowship training opportunity in this subspecialty.
Mission
The mission of the clinical neurophysiology fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center is to train compassionate, skilled, and knowledgeable physicians in the comprehensive evaluation and management of neurological disorders through advanced neurophysiological techniques. This fellowship is committed to fostering clinical excellence, academic curiosity, and technical proficiency in areas such as EEG, EMG, evoked potentials, intraoperative monitoring, and sleep studies. Through a combination of hands-on experience, dedicated mentorship, and scholarly activity, the program aims to develop leaders in the field who are equipped to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care, contribute to ongoing research, and educate future generations of neurologists.
The Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center offers exceptional training opportunities for physicians seeking comprehensive expertise in the full spectrum of neurophysiological procedures. Our program combines academic excellence with clinical diversity, serving a large catchment area that provides fellows with extensive exposure to complex cases across all major neurophysiology subspecialties. With our flexible curriculum, fellows can focus their training on one or more specialized areas including advanced EMG with dedicated multidisciplinary ALS and Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) clinics, EEG via a Level 4 epilepsy center featuring state of the art surgical treatments, critical care and tele-EEG, sleep medicine by an accredited and comprehensive sleep disorders center in addition to an academically-oriented in-house Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) team.
What sets our fellowship apart is the integration of cutting-edge clinical services with robust academic opportunities in a collaborative environment. Our experienced faculty participate in a wide range of quality improvement and research endeavors. Fellows benefit from high-volume clinical exposure while participating in quality improvement initiatives, research projects, and educational activities that prepare them for leadership roles in academic or clinical practice. Our comprehensive training experience ensures graduates are well-prepared for the evolving landscape of neurophysiology practice.
Located in the scenic Upper Valley region of New Hampshire, our program combines world-class medical training with an exceptional quality of life, making it an ideal choice for physicians seeking both professional excellence and personal fulfillment in their fellowship year.
