Headache fellowship

[rohit76]

Good evening!
I am a board certified internal medicine physician currently working in urgent care. I have been practicing since 13 years. I always wanted to do fellowship after finishing IM residency, but could not do it due to visa ( I am a foreign medical graduate). Recently, I read about "headache medicine" fellowship and got interested. Its is of 1 year. Its is accredited by united council for neurologic subspecialities. Let me know if you have any info about this fellowship? Thanks

Not much to say. There aren't many of them, and I don't know that they're open to non-neurologists. Maybe someone here is trained in them and can help you some more. All I know is you'll also get a population of people with refractory headaches, and you'll get a ton of referrals of people who are on narcotics for headache and it's quite difficult to manage at times.

It is possible to do headache medicine after internal medicine. Here is one example

However, my understanding of UCNS board certification is that you need to be a neurologist.
