Our Movement Disorders fellowship is one or two years in length. Our long established Fellowship program, initiated in 1990s, provides comprehensive Clinical Movement Disorders subspecialty training. (There is no ACGME accreditation for a movement disorders subspecialty at this time.)
Applications accepted via SF Match () Movement Disorders.
Interviews in spring/summer in calendar year prior to start. Rank list deadline for SF Match is (typically) in September. Movement Disorders Fellowship begins here in July of the following calendar year.
As a fellow, you will acquire a broad range of interpretative skills, learning to:
Clinical and research training by three attending Movement Disorder specialists at the Medical College of Georgia.

The fellows work one-on-one with 4 ABPN certified vascular neurologists. During their rotations on the clinical wards, they round with the stroke team, consisting of the attending faculty, neurology residents, nurses, a pharmacist, and rehabilitation therapists. During the course of the year, fellows attend weekly didactic sessions covering a wide variety of stroke topics, including anatomy and physiology, pathology, clinical presentations, evaluation, and management.
As a fellow, you will acquire a broad range of interpretative skills, learning to:
Fellows will actively participate in:
Clinical research (and if interested, may participate in basic science research),
Helping to identify, enroll, & manage patients in clinical trials;
Discussions of trial design, statistical analysis, & management.
Clinical management of patients with stroke.
Acute evaluation & management of patients with stroke.
Be able to discuss evidence based data on acute & long term therapy for stroke.
See patients in the outpatient stroke clinic under the direct supervision of the stroke faculty.
Inpatient assessment & management of non-acute stroke patients.
Discussions and presentations on the clinical features, pathophysiology, neuroradiological evaluations, & management of different stroke syndromes.
Neurosonology Lab
The fellow spends 2 months learning to perform and interpret carotid duplex (CDUS) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound. Approximately 140 CDUS and TCD studies are performed each month at MCG, and 140 CDUS are performed at the VA, for evaluation of cerebral ischemia, subarachnoid hemorrhage-related vasospasm and brain death. At the completion of the fellowship, the fellow will have the opportunity to sit for the American Society of Neuroimaging Neurosonology Board Exam.
Inpatient
The vascular neurology fellow rotates on the neurology inpatient service for at least 6 months under the direction of the stroke attending. Responsibilities include daily rounding on all stroke patients and teaching neurology residents and medical students. The fellow sees all new stroke admissions and supervises their acute treatment and diagnostic evaluation. The fellow reviews all of these cases with the stroke attending.
Applicants must be eligible for a Georgia medical license at the start date of the fellowship. Fellows must have successfully completed a 3 year Neurology residency in a USHME approved residency training program prior to starting the fellowship.
Applications and supporting materials are only accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer. Minority and women candidates are encouraged to apply.
Foreign Medical »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵs should have clinical experience in the United States (i.e. observerships, clinical rotations, ect.) in the past five years and should not be more than five years from graduating medical school.

We are not recruiting for the upcoming cycle.
We typically recruit for one position every two years. Availability of a position for the upcoming training cycle will be updated each fall on our APPCN program page. The residency is a two-year program that begins on or around September 1.
The Medical College of Georgia Department of Neurology at »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ currently offers a two-year postdoctoral training program in adult clinical neuropsychology.
The program is a member of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN) and is designed to be consistent with Houston Conference Guidelines on Specialty Education & Training in Clinical Neuropsychology. The Medical College of Georgia at »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ is the medical university for the state of Georgia’s university system. Its primary academic and clinical campus facilities are located in Augusta, Georgia.
The Medical College of Georgia’s postdoctoral training program in neuropsychology is a participant in the matching program.
Neuropsychological evaluations will routinely be performed on adult outpatients from the neurological, surgical, general medical, and psychiatry services. Residents will be exposed to patients with neurodegenerative conditions/dementing illnesses, cerebrovascular disorders, movement disorders, epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries and head injuries, brain neoplasms, psychiatric disturbances, developmental disorders, chemotherapy/radiation treatment effects, infectious diseases, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic medical conditions. Additional training opportunities (as available) usually include pre- and postsurgical neuropsychological evaluation within the Epilepsy Surgery Program, involvement in Wada procedures, and pre-surgical evaluation of DBS candidates.

The Neuroendovascular Fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia is a CAST certified fellowship program dedicated to training individuals who wish to pursue a career in interventional treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
Our program provides a unique fellowship experience through a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach including instruction in neuroendovascular surgery, skull base surgery, vascular neurology, and neurocritical care. The Medical College of Georgia has been a national leader in stroke management over the past two decades. We were the first institution in the state of Georgia and second in the entire southeast to obtain the designation of a comprehensive stroke center. As the largest and only public medical school in Georgia, our comprehensive stroke center serves thousands of stroke patients per year. We provide state of the art care with extensive research in areas of stem cell and medical therapy as well as access to novel medical device used for treatment of stroke.

The Medical College of Georgia Neurocritical Care APP Fellowship begins on October 1st of each year. Applications will be posted in April of each year.
To meet the ongoing demand for advanced practice providers (APPs) in the field of Neurocritical Care, we are offering a Neurocritical Care APP Fellowship Training at »Æ¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ, Medical College of Georgia which is both a comprehensive stroke center and Level 1 Trauma Hospital.
Our program is a 12-month post-graduate fellowship training for nurse practitioners or physician assistants. The program’s goal is to provide specialty training to motivated advanced practice providers interested in pursuing a career in neurocritical care. The fellowship’s curriculum includes both didactic and clinical experiences, under the guidance of experienced MD and APP faculty. Our curriculum has been reviewed and adapted to ensure that it combines the basic aspects of general critical-care medicine that are relevant to neuro-critical care, as well as specialized skills that are specific to neuro-critical care. It contains a listing of cognitive and procedural skills that are fundamental to the training of specialists in neurological-critical care, and it is based on national recommendations.
Fellows will rotate primarily on the Neuro-ICU, but they will have the opportunity for other ICU rotations (MICU, STICU, etc) and elective service rotations (Nephrology, Cardiology, ID, etc.) designed to enhance their overall education. These rotations provide a foundation of basic critical care management as well as exposure to many aspects of subspecialty care.
On the Neuro-ICU service, fellows will gain experience managing patients with neurological and neurosurgical conditions including acute ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, status epilepticus, traumatic brain injury, etc.
Our ideal candidate is a nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA) who has recently finished APP school and has high interest in pursuing a career as a APP intensivist with advanced knowledge in complex neurological conditions (e.g., ICH, SAH, etc.)
We seek a candidate with a good foundation in critical care. Your work experience, clinical rotations, or community projects should demonstrate your desire / commitment to care for this vulnerable patient population.
Your application will be evaluated purely based on the merits using CV, LOR, PS, etc.
