The Fellowship Program in Neuro-Oncology offers a two- to three-year arrangement of clinical and research training for those who have completed an adult or pediatric neurology residency. The program’s goal is for trainees to develop expertise in:
- diagnosing and treating primary central nervous system tumors
- diagnosing and treating metastatic and nonmetastatic neurological complications of systemic cancer, including pain
- learning techniques in basic and/or clinical research
The program begins in July for most individuals, but exceptions are possible.
