Description:
The APP Fellowship is a 12 month postgraduate training program dedicated to Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants who are passionate about pursuing a career in Neurology. The program design is committed to excellence in neurological practice and uses advance practice provider curriculum to enhance the knowledge and skills needed to care for patients with neurological disorders.
The program introduces the participants to the basic sciences and core concepts of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology that are necessary for a practitioner to clinically evaluate a patient with neurological diseases. Building upon this foundation, the pathophysiology of diseases affecting the brain and special senses and the clinical presentation of these diseases are also covered. Treatment of these diseases, including pharmacological, is integrated with the clinical focus. The students lean how to use physical examination to assess patients with diseases affecting the nervous system, muscles and nerves. Multiple formative and summative assessments are provided to aid in the APP's knowledge and understanding of the course material.
Participants who complete this program will gain the knowledge to provide culturally appropriate and clinically sound care to patients in the inpatient and out patient setting with various neurological conditions. The program will allow APPs in our center who practice in Neurology to practice to the full breath and scope of their licensure and certification confidently.
The program is anticipated to begin on July 1, 2026. Applications must be submitted by April 6, 2026.
