U Miami fellowships

[minstral]

I'm very confused.
Big school, big eeg and emg folks, ALS center all kinds of neuro stuff going on
yet according to freida and acgme website they have no neurophysiology or NMusc fellowship.

their residencey program website lists about 7-8 different fellowships incuding eeg, emg etc , but none are linked to another website for more info.

Can anyone explain?

Obviously, you are missing something.

The University of Miami, Department of Neurology has one of the first established Neuromuscular and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowships in the country. Dr Ram Ayyar has been in charge of this fellowship for over 20 years. By the way, it is very popular, and they usually only choose from their own residents ( the residency program graduates 6 adult neuro residents per year )

Hey Azntrojan,

I am a med student at UM and I have a strong interest in Neurology and possiblying staying here for residency. Can you comment on the pros and cons of the program and do you know if they will start fellowships in either Interventional Neuro or Behavioral Neuro/Neuropsych?

Thanks
