Clinical Neuroimmunology & Multiple Sclerosis Fellowship opening at UPMC Magee in Pittsburgh, PA

Clinical Responsibilities: The primary clinical setting for the fellowship will be the outpatient clinic at the Multiple Sclerosis Center. To enhance the clinical experience, fellows will occasionally provide consultations for complex neuroimmunology cases in the inpatient environment. Fellows will not be required to be on call during evenings or weekends. Additional clinical experiences will include neurorehabilitation, physical medicine and rehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neuro-urology, neuro-gastroenterology, neuro-rheumatology, pediatric neuroimmunology, neuro-ophthalmology, neuro-otology, and women's neurology, along with a multidisciplinary autoimmune encephalitis clinic.

Research Opportunities: Clinician-scientist track fellows are expected to engage in research under faculty guidance in one of three areas: clinical research (including clinical trials, epidemiology, and observational studies), translational research (focusing on biomarkers, genetic studies, or pilot studies for innovative diagnostic or treatment methods), or data research (involving neuroimaging studies and the application of biostatistics, machine learning, and other computational techniques to clinical and translational research data).Educational Components Scheduled educational activities include biweekly neuroimmunology/neuroradiology case conferences, monthly combined adult and pediatric neuroimmunology conferences, monthly journal clubs, weekly case discussions, and various other educational initiatives within the MS Center. Fellows will have the opportunity to present at a national or international conference related to MS/neuroimmunology (such as ACTRIMS Forum, ECTRIMS, or CMSC).There will also be opportunities for fellows to teach residents and medical students.

Application Deadline: Please refer to the SF match website. Applications should be submitted during PGY3 for a start date of July 1 in PGY5 for adult neurology residents. Eligibility Criteria: Candidates must have successfully completed an accredited adult neurology residency program (or its equivalent) in the United States (or Canada), have applied for and received an unrestricted medical license in Pennsylvania, and completed the necessary credentialing prior to the fellowship commencement.
