Epilepsy fellows complete various rotations at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital and Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital—34th Street.

The Kimmel Pavilion has substantial infrastructure to support our program with up to 20 hardwired beds on the adult acute neurology floor 6 in the adult neuroscience ICU, 12 on the pediatric floor, and 6 in the pediatric ICU. In addition, portable EEG units may be deployed throughout the hospital for bedside EEG monitoring. We have one of the most active epilepsy surgery programs in the United States, performing over 100 epilepsy surgical procedures, including robot-assisted SEEG, neurostimulation device implantation, and surgical resection and laser ablation, each year.

Fellows rotate through several core services and gain extensive clinical experience with both adult and pediatric video EEG monitoring, intracranial EEG monitoring, and epilepsy consults in the intensive care unit (ICU) as well as non-ICU settings. Fellows learn ACNS critical care EEG terminology and monitoring.
