Summary

  • I am a board eligible child neurologist, currently doing a fellowship in neuromuscular neurology. I am looking for a mix of neuromuscular and child neurology at a center that can support new therapies as well as nerve conduction/electromyography for diagnosis and management of neuromuscular disease in children. Ideally, would have a role in a multidisciplinary clinic.
