Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship

A yearlong fellowship and combined track with a focus on EEG. 

We are excited to announce that the Department of Neurology has received initial accreditation from the ACGME for a  Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship program. 

The fellowship, led by Dr. Ajaz Sheikh, is one-year in length and will have one position available each year.  The program is a combined track with a focus on EEG, however, the curriculum is flexible, and changes may be discussed with the Program Director.  Fellows successfully completing the program will be eligible for certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.


Eligibility 

Prior to appointment in the program, applicants must have successfully completed an ACGME accredited residency program in neurology, child neurology, or neurodevelopment disabilities. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or be eligible for J1 visa sponsorship through the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).


How to apply

We are currently looking to fill one position for the 2024-2025 academic year.  Interested applicants should send CV to Brittny.Briggs@utoledo.edu.

For 2025-2026 positions, our program will be participating in the Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Match conducted through The Match and ERAS.  We welcome ERAS signaling, but it is neither needed, nor a criterion for ranking.  Questions regarding the process or program may be directed to Brittny Briggs at Brittny.Briggs@utoledo.edu.
