EMG FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The EMG and Neuromuscular Disease fellowship program offers annual positions in the EMG Laboratory and in the Neuromuscular division of the Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons. The EMG Laboratory provides all electrodiagnostic testing for both the Neurological Institute of New York and the New York Presbyterian Hospital at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Fellows in training have in-depth exposure to all aspects of electrodiagnosis in the EMG lab, which is continuously staffed by experienced faculty. As both a tertiary care facility and the sole medical center laboratory, the section provides exposure to a wide variety of unusual cases, as well as substantial grounding in the electrodiagnosis of common disorders. Fellows also rotate through the neuromuscular outpatient centers and muscular dystrophy association clinic at the Neurological Institute, where they learn neuromuscular diagnostic and management skills directly from the distinguished neuromuscular faculty. In addition, an extensive didactic program is also in place, which includes a programmed lecture series, dedicated neuromuscular conferences, and EMG morning report, providing 4 to 6 hours of direct didactic instruction per week.

This fellowship is fully accredited by the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the certifying bodies for physician training in the United States. Fellows will be eligible at the successful completion of their training for both the ACGME board certification examination in Clinical Neurophysiology and for the board certification examination of the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (ABEM).
