Neuropax Clinic Fellowships

Neuropax Fellowships

Clinical Fellowship

Neuropax Clinic offers a one-year training program in peripheral nerve surgery. The typical applicant will be finishing an ACGME accredited residency in Plastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, General Surgery or ENT. The Fellow will be involved in all aspects of clinical care under the direction of Drs. Robert Hagan and Dr. David Brown. They will also participate in clinical research, reporting on patient outcomes from the rich database of Neuropax.

In addition, the Fellow will be a Junior Associate of the practice and have their own clinical case load. This portion of the experience will serve to assist in case collection for Board application, and to enhance the Fellow’s transition to independent practice.

Evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve disorders from head to toe.
In-depth training in the use of ultrasound in the application of diagnostic nerve blocks.
Surgical mentorship in a 90% outpatient-based model

Research Fellowship

Neuropax Clinic offers a three month to one-year training program in peripheral nerve outcomes research. The typical applicant is a university graduate on “gap year” applying to medical school, a medical student, or a surgical resident. There is opportunity to complete multiple outcomes research projects utilizing the significant experience of Drs. Hagan and Brown in this space, along with the wealth of data collected by Neuropax and other peripheral nerve centers. The Fellow should expect to complete one to two projects in 3-6 months, and 5-6 projects in one year of dedicated time.

Research fellows may participate in clinical care as a minority portion of their time.

Attendance at national meetings will be funded for accepted presentations.

These positions are typically non-funded. However, some funding source applications are available, and Neuropax will work with individuals currently in training programs as needed.
