After Residency

Most residents graduating from the program complete fellowships for further training. ACGME-accredited fellowships are available at the University of Washington in Epilepsy, Neurophysiology, Neuromuscular Medicine, Sleep Medicine, and Vascular Neurology. There are also fellowships available in Headache, Movement Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, Neuro-critical Care, and Neuro-Oncology. In addition we have an active research training program. While some of our residents choose to stay at the University of Washington for fellowship, those who leave are competitive candidates in whatever field they pursue.
