Fellowships

The Pediatric Epilepsy Center in the Department of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine and St. Louis Children’s Hospital offers a one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship in pediatric epilepsy beginning on July 1 annually. The program offers extensive training in all aspects of clinical pediatric epilepsy.

The Pediatric Neuroimmunology/Autoimmune Diseases of the CNS fellowship at WUSM/SLCH will provide training in pediatric MS and other demyelinating diseases, as well the autoimmune diseases of the CNS. Fellows will gain expertise in the science and pathophysiology of diagnosis and management of those disease conditions, which represent the spectrum of this novel and underserved neurologic subspecialty with high exposure and expertise in multiple neuroimmunological diseases and integrating other relevant services such as adult neuroimmunology, pediatric neuro-rheumatological, as well as neuroinfectious diseases.

The goal of our fellowship program is to equip the next generation of pediatric neurologists, intensivists and neurosurgeons to be leaders in the field of pediatric neurocritical care. We emphasize training across a spectrum of critical illness, include direct and indirect brain injury, and along the entire longitudinal care continuum. We aim to provide a rich and rigorous academic environment that is individualized to a fellow’s career goals.

The training program includes predominantly outpatient clinic experiences with multidisciplinary sleep medicine faculty with primary clinical background in neurology, pediatric neurology, pulmonary medicine, pediatric pulmonary medicine, otolaryngology, psychiatry and psychology.

The Cerebrovascular Disease Section of the Department of Neurology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis offers an ACGME-accredited training program in the subspecialty of vascular neurology. This one-year program offers extensive training in both research and clinical care through a comprehensive program of didactic teaching and hands-on clinical experience.
