Neuroimmunology Fellowship
Neuroimmunology Fellowship
The core activity of the fellowship training program will remain an intensive clinical exposure to both adult and pediatric MS patients. This is complemented by a regular schedule of clinical conferences, research conferences, journal clubs, and faculty-led topical didactic discussions. Additional personalized experiences will be in allied disciplines of neuroimaging, neuro-ophthalmology, neurorehabilitation, neuropalliative care, and neuropsychology. Our MS center resources include an MS comprehensive care clinic with a patient population of over 2500 drawn from a broad catchment area encompassing upstate New York and the northern tier of Pennsylvania. The multi-disciplinary clinical staff includes advanced practice providers, social workers, research nurse coordinators, as well as an infusion center-nursing cadre. An important feature of this program is the opportunity to perform faculty-supervised consultations for inpatients with aggressive presentations of MS and other CNS inflammatory disorders that mimic MS. Our fellows will also have exposure to and the option for participation in a rich variety of MS-related research in cutting edge experimental therapeutics (A Goodman), clinical outcomes/economics (R Holloway), translational laboratory studies (J Hammond; S Goldman) that are funded by the NeuroNext (NINDS), NIAID, PCORI, NMSS, and industry.
