The mission of the clinic neurophysiology fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center is to train the next generation of leaders in clinical neurophysiology procedures. The fellow’s rotations will include EMU and LTM/EEG, NCS/EMG including ALS and MDA clinics, IONM with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center technologists and physicians and at the sleep disorder center. Depending on the fellow’s career goals, the program offers a flexible curriculum including the opportunity to focus on one or a combination of these skills.
Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center serves a broad catchment area with referrals from across New England, ensuring both a high patient volume and a diverse, complex case mix across all specialties. For example, in AY 2024-2025 there were 1500+ cases of IONM and 450+ cases of EMG.
This clinical experience is augmented by our structured didactic program which offers a dynamic and comprehensive educational experience in neurophysiology. The curriculum features faculty- and fellow-led weekly lectures covering EMG and EEG fundamentals, in-depth book chapter discussions, and interactive case reviews. Fellows also participate in multidisciplinary epilepsy surgery conferences, fostering collaboration across specialties. Beyond weekly sessions, the program includes monthly journal clubs, a fellow-led resident education series, and a dedicated intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) lecture series. This ensures broad exposure to both foundational principles and cutting-edge advances in the diverse field of neurophysiology.
