The Pediatric Neuroimmunology/Autoimmune Diseases of the CNS fellowship at WUSM/SLCH will provide training in pediatric MS and other demyelinating diseases, as well the autoimmune diseases of the CNS. Fellows will gain expertise in the science and pathophysiology of diagnosis and management of those disease conditions, which represent the spectrum of this novel and underserved neurologic subspecialty with high exposure and expertise in multiple neuroimmunological diseases and integrating other relevant services such as adult neuroimmunology, pediatric neuro-rheumatological, as well as neuroinfectious diseases.

The goal of our fellowship program is to equip the next generation of pediatric neurologists, intensivists and neurosurgeons to be leaders in the field of pediatric neurocritical care. We emphasize training across a spectrum of critical illness, include direct and indirect brain injury, and along the entire longitudinal care continuum. We aim to provide a rich and rigorous academic environment that is individualized to a fellow’s career goals.

The training program includes predominantly outpatient clinic experiences with multidisciplinary sleep medicine faculty with primary clinical background in neurology, pediatric neurology, pulmonary medicine, pediatric pulmonary medicine, otolaryngology, psychiatry and psychology.
