The fellowship program also includes training in medical management of seizures, routine EEG, epilepsy surgery evaluation and surgical treatment (including resection, Neuromodulation including RNS, VNS and DBS, and laser interstitial thermal therapy ), brain mapping with SEEG and grid/depth intracranial electrodes, functional epilepsy testing, and neuroimaging.  We also offer opportunities for clinical epilepsy research.  Fellows have the opportunity to participate in specialized programs including a Women's Epilepsy Program, First Seizure Clinic and Adults with Neurodevelopmental Disorders program.
