The Epilepsy Fellowship Program at the University of Iowa offers a comprehensive training experience designed to prepare fellows for a successful career in epileptology. 

This one-year fellowship is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and offers one position annually. Upon successful completion of the training program, the fellow will be eligible for the epilepsy subspecialty certification examination offered by American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN).

This program is housed within the renowned Department of Neurology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and the Division of Pediatric Neurology at the Steady Family Children’s Hospital. Both centers constitute a high patient-volume and have demonstrated a robust commitment to the care of adults and children with epilepsy, as evidenced by a steady increase in EEG volume.

Our center maintains robust inpatient and outpatient adult and pediatric EEG services, highlighting our role as a leading center for epilepsy care and research in the Midwest region.

As a Level 4 epilepsy center recognized by NAEC, we have the professional expertise and facilities to provide the highest level medical and surgical treatments for patients with epilepsy, including lobectomy, functional hemispherectomy, and endovascular embolic hemispherectomy, corpus callosotomy, and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT).
