Fellowship: Autonomic Disorders
Location: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, Bethesda, MD
Duration: 1-3 years
Contact: David S. Goldstein, MD, PhD
Chief, CNCS
301-496-2103
[email protected]
The Clinical Neurocardiology Section (CNCS) of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke offers a United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS)-certified fellowship in autonomic disorders. The CNCS studies patients with abnormalities of central and peripheral catecholamine systems. The current focus is on biomarkers and mechanisms of catecholaminergic denervation in Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, and pure autonomic failure. Fellows learn numerous methods of evaluation of the autonomic nervous system, including baroreflex and tilt table testing, assessments using neuropharmacologic probes, cardiac sympathetic neuroimaging, high resolution brain positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning, and clinical catecholamine neurochemistry. Fellows also see patients in the Autonomic Disorders clinic in the Neurology Department at the adjacent Walter Reed Military Medical Center.
Candidates should be licensed to practice in the United States. Residency training in neurology is preferred; internal medicine, cardiology, or other residency training backgrounds will be considered.
