Fellows gain proficiency in electrodiagnostic studies (EMG); botulinum injections; nerve ultrasound; performing skin biopsies; and other procedures. Clinical experience is complemented by a variety of case conferences including waveform review conference, nerve and muscle biopsy pathology review, journal club discussions, and traditional didactics. Fellows spend the majority of their time at Boston Medical Center with a monthly clinic at Boston Children\u2019s Hospital for pediatric neuromuscular medicine exposure. Upon completion of the program, fellows are eligible to sit for the ABPN Neuromuscular Medicine board examination.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Program Highlights<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Four faculty members with diverse expertise and experience<\/li>\n<li>Intensive training in a variety of procedures including skin biopsies and botulinum injections<\/li>\n<li>State of the art electromyography laboratory<\/li>\n<li>Clinical experience at the internationally renowned Boston University Multidisciplinary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/amyloid\/\">Amyloidosis Center<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Robust research opportunities under faculty guidance on a variety of topics including amyloidosis and quality improvement in neurophysiology<\/li>\n<li>Weekly protected academic time for pursuit of scholarship<\/li>\n<li>Paid registration to annual Boston University Practical Approach to Electromyography and Neuromuscular Conference<\/li>\n<li>Paid annual AAN membership fee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Boston Medical Center offers a range of <strong>benefits and stipends<\/strong> all listed on the BMC web pages.\u00a0Follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmc.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2024-01\/House%20Officer%20Guide_2024_Final.pdf\">link<\/a> to view details.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Teaching Faculty<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/neurology\/profile\/ariel-marks-md\/\">Ariel Marks, MD<\/a><br \/>\nAssistant Professor of Neurology<br \/>\nProgram Director, Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/neurology\/profile\/peter-siao-md\/\">Peter Siao, MD<\/a><br \/>\nAssociate Professor of Neurology<br \/>\nDirector, EMG Laboratory<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/neurology\/profile\/deandrea-a-king-md\/\">Deandrea A.
