Description

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has an open position in our Epilepsy Fellowship program starting July 1, 2026. Applicants must have completed a residency program in adult or child neurology accredited in the United States.

The Johns Hopkins program offers two Epilepsy fellowship tracks:

• A one-year ACGME accredited fellowship track that fulfills ABPN requirements for certification in epilepsy.
• A two-year fellowship track that includes an ACGME accredited first year, and a second ACGME equivalent year for additional experience in epilepsy surgery, electives and research.

Candidates interested in either track or in a second year of epilepsy fellowship for additional experience in epilepsy surgery are encouraged to apply.

The Johns Hopkins Epilepsy Center is a NAEC Level IV center located in the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Created in 1986, the Epilepsy Center serves patients in the Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia area, as well as national and international referrals. Trainees are supervised and mentored by medical school faculty in a comprehensive training program focused on the diagnosis and management of epilepsy in both adults and children, including dietary therapy and surgery. The high volume surgical program provides experience in stereo and subdural EEG, functional mapping, laser ablation, RNS and VNS. Rotations include adult and pediatric epilepsy monitoring units, routine and continuous EEG, epilepsy clinic, and elective rotations in intraoperative monitoring and research.

All applicants should immediately submit a letter of intent and CV, followed by a personal statement and three letters of recommendation (including one from their residency or current fellowship director) to the program contact.
