The goal of the Rush Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship is to train well-rounded, confident neuromuscular specialists. This program features broad clinical experiences, strong didactics and mentorship. Specific neuromuscular highlights at Rush include multidisciplinary ALS clinic, MDA clinic, CMT clinic and center of excellence, and a busy electrodiagnostic laboratory. Team-based care is emphasized with excellent clinical and administrative support. There is outstanding opportunity for scholarly work involvement. We have a brand-new autonomic laboratory that will be up and running in January 2025!
This is a relatively new fellowship program, and we are excited to meet you and grow.
We plan to offer virtual interviews on Fridays in April 2025.
We highly value equity and transparency in the recruitment process. Opportunities to visit and tour our center in-person can be available but will not influence the ranking of potential fellows.
If you are interested in attending a virtual open house, please email our coordinator and PD for the Zoom information: lina_n_lopez@rush.edu and ryan_jacobson@rush.edu.
