FAQ

Fellows receive hands-on training in muscle ultrasound, electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies (NCS). EMG for infants and young children is typically performed under sedation during clinic, with weekly sessions available at both pediatric and adult EMG labs. Fellows also participate in nerve and muscle biopsy review conferences to gain experience in surgical indications, specimen handling, and neuropathology interpretation.

Fellows are expected to engage in at least one meaningful scholarly project during the year, with opportunities in clinical natural history studies, biomarker development, imaging, outcomes research, and multicenter clinical trials. The team actively participates in trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy, and prior fellows have progressed to further research training at prominent institutions.
