Autoimmune Neurology

The Autoimmune Neurology Fellowship is designed to provide training to fellows interested in pursuing a career as an academic neurologist training in the treatment of autoimmune and paraneoplastic neurologic disease and can be tailored to individual subspecialty interests. Fellows spend time in both the Autoimmune Neurology and Neuroimmunology clinics and also spend a month at the national referral laboratory on campus—ARUP—learning techniques used in the evaluation of antibody-mediated disorders. Fellows have opportunities to participate in a wide range of research projects—including basic, clinical, and/or translations. We accept 1–2 fellows annually for a 1–2 year experience.

Program Director: Stacey Clardy, MD, PhD

Neuroimmunology

The Neuroimmunology Fellowship is designed to provide training to fellows interested in pursuing a career as an academic neurology trained in multiple sclerosis (MS) and related central nervous system demyelinating diseases. Fellows spend time in the MS and Neuroimmunology Clinics and may pursue a clinical or research track, with numerous opportunities to participate in projects focused on laboratory research, translational research, and/or clinical trials, based on the goals of the individual fellows. Research opportunities include therapeutics, imaging, neuropathology and biomarker development. We accept one fellow annually for a 1–2 year experience.

Program Director: John Rose, MD
