Education
The Center offers an Autonomic Disorders Fellowship that provides intensive training in the diagnosis, evaluation and management of patients with genetic and non-genetic autonomic disorders of all types.
The program includes training in the performance and interpretation of neurophysiologic tests of autonomic nerve function and clinical care.
Emphasis is placed on recognizing the symptoms of autonomic dysfunction, interpreting the patient’s complaints based on clear understanding of autonomic physiology and selection of the appropriate autonomic testing according to the patient’s clinical syndrome.
There is also collaboration with basic science research and the Fellow has the opportunity to participate actively in research protocols aimed to understand the role of genetics in the development and maintenance of sensory and autonomic neurons.
The Center also provides the opportunity for neurology and medical residents as well as medical students to arrange clinical rotations with its researchers and clinicians.
A weekly Clinical Conference takes place at the Dysautonomia Center where interesting cases are discussed with the medical and research autonomic team.
