As a Peripheral Nerve Disorders fellow, you will be taught the
interpretation of laboratory studies for patients, including the
interpretation of nerve biopsies and autonomic-function testing.
You will see and evaluate patients presenting the full spectrum
of peripheral nerve diseases, including:
- Acute demyelinating polyneuropathy or polyradiculoneuropathy
- Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
or polyradiculoneuropathy
- Brachial plexopathy
- Brachial plexus neuritis
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
or polyradiculoneuropathy
- Demyelinating polyneuropathy or polyradiculoneuropathy
- Diabetic amyotrophy
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
- Femoral neuropathy
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Hereditary neuropathies
- Inherited neuropathy
- Lumbosacral plexopathy
- Mononeuritis multiplex
- Mononeuropathies
- Multifocal motor neuropathy
- Multiple mononeuropathies
- Neuralgic amyotrophy
- Neuropathies
- Numbness and tingling
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Peroneal neuropathy
- Polyneuropathy
- Polyradiculopathy
- Sciatic neuropathy
- Sensory neuropathy
- Small fiber neuropathy
- Tingling and numbness
Didactic Training
You will participate in and learn to coordinate regular
weekly peripheral nerve conferences. In addition, you will have
close contact with the clinical neurology services. There also will
be the opportunity to observe EMG and nerve conduction studies on
patients and to attend EMG conferences.
Research Training
Your research opportunities at Mayo Clinic are outstanding.
During the course of this fellowship, you will design and complete
a research project under close mentorship from one of our clinician-researchers.
Opportunities for both clinical and laboratory-based projects exist.
You will learn about research through observation and participation
in the design and conduct of ongoing clinical trials.
