Kansas Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship program. We look forward to this academic year with an excellent fellow. Our continued focus on clinical research, inpatient and outpatient clinical evaluations, diagnostic, procedural and technical skills essential to the performance of Neuromuscular Medicine is reflected in both our didactic and clinical experiences. This is an ACGME-accredited fellowship that spans one year at the University of Kansas Medical Center. We offer a variety of experiences in many different settings. The experience includes opportunities to observe, evaluate, and manage inpatients and outpatients of all ages with a wide variety of disorders of the nervous system and muscles, as well as to learn the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Experiences at the Landon Center on Aging, the Kansas University Hospital, Kansas City Veterans Administration Medical Center and the General Clinical Research Center provide opportunities to work with medical professionals as well as assist patients with medical problems. Neurologists successfully completing the program, once certified in Neurology, will be eligible for certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in Neuromuscular Medicine. We believe our program will prepare fellows for careers in private practice and academic settings. We look forward to working
