Program Description
Behavioral neurology is a specialty for neurologists who want to
develop clinical and research skills in neurodegenerative diseases
and neurobehavioral syndromes.
Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville offers a one-year Behavioral Neurology
Fellowship, which can be extended for a second year.
The fellowship allows you to observe patients with various kinds
of dementia, memory disorders, aphasia, apraxia and neglect. These
patients may have degenerative diseases, infarctions, demyelinating
disorders and seizure disorders.
You will also receive instruction in interpretation of neuropsychological
evaluations and may elect rotations in speech pathology, neuroimaging
and psychiatry.
Program History
The Behavioral Neurology Fellowship began at Mayo Clinic
in Jacksonville in 1999 and since that time, five fellows have completed
their training in this program. Going forward, it is anticipated
that one fellow will complete this program annually.
