Hi everyone. What is the difference between and electrodiagnostic medicine physician and a neuromuscular medicine physician?

I'm not familiar with the term "electrodiagnostic medicine physician" but that sounds like someone who performs only clinical electrophysiologic studies like EMG/NCS, EEG/EP, intraoperative monitoring, etc. Whereas the latter is a physician who diagnoses and treats patients with neuromuscular problems.

"Electrodiagnostic medicine" is a field that includes a wide range of diagnostic equipment and is not limited to neurology. but includes, for example, cardiology.

Thanks! To follow-up, I matched into a Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship. I appreciate the previous answer.
