This fellowship provides intensive training in the diagnosis and management of MS and its associated symptoms, impairments, and disabilities. There is a strong emphasis on career development and preparing fellows to become role models in PM&R and neurology MS activities at a national level.
Our fellows work with nationally recognized rehabilitation specialists, and a large, skilled multi-disciplinary team in a rich clinical environment. They will also interact regularly with other rehabilitation medicine fellows.
Fellows can customize their clinical experience, which may include assistive technology, telehealth, EMG, intrathecal baclofen pump management, chemodenervation, musculoskeletal injections, complex lower extremity bracing, and adaptive sports at local and national levels.
Training takes place primarily at VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle, with opportunities to spend time at other health care centers in Seattle and Portland, OR.
Our graduates have been recruited for positions in both the public and private sectors.
More information about VA Fellowships for Multiple Sclerosis is available from the VA.
