Description

Pediatric Epilepsy Fellowship  

The Epilepsy Fellowship program at the University of Washington is a one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship designed to develop clinical proficiency in epilepsy medicine and related EEG skills. We are recruiting a pediatric fellow to start in July 2026. 

Program Details 

The goals of the fellowship are to acquire clinical proficiency in the medical and surgical management of epilepsy, interpretation of the entire spectrum of EEG studies (outpatient, ambulatory, video-EEG monitoring, ICU monitoring), and additional neurophysiological techniques relevant to epilepsy as electrocorticography and functional mapping by evoked potentials and cortical stimulation. Pursuit of research or other scholarly activity is encouraged and supported. 

There are adult and pediatric tracks which are mandated by ACGME to include exposure to the other: namely the adult fellow will spend 10 months (or 44 weeks) at the adult program, and 2 months (or 8 weeks) in the pediatric program; vice versa for the pediatric fellow. Adult training takes place at the Regional Epilepsy Center at Harborview Medical Center, while pediatric training is at Seattle Children’s Hospital, both affiliated with the University of Washington. A 4 week elective period for research or equivalent scholarly activity is offered at the primary site of training. 

The fellow works closely with attending faculty in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and EEG laboratory. There will be 1 half-day continuity clinic each week. The fellow will take home calls. A didactic schedule to cover essential topics is spread throughout the year, with weekly teaching and patient management conferences. 

Eligibility 

Completion of an ACGME accredited neurology or child neurology residency by start date of the fellowship, and either United States permanent residency or citizenship or current J-1 visa status. Canadian citizens enrolled in equivalent accredited Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Neurology or Child Neurology residency programs are also eligible.
