The Epilepsy and Electroencephalography Fellowship is offered by the Department of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine through its Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. The two-year clinical pathway develops expertise in diagnosing and treating epilepsy across neonatal, pediatric, and adult populations. Fellows gain experience in video-electroencephalography monitoring, intracranial monitoring, epilepsy surgery evaluation, intensive care electroencephalography, neuromodulation, and seizure management. Training also includes outpatient and inpatient care, brain mapping, evoked potentials, and sleep-related testing.
