Epilepsy Fellowship Research

Master
Content

Baylor College of Medicine Epilepsy Fellows are encouraged to participate in scholarly activity during their fellowship year. All scholarly activity projects are performed with mentorship from epilepsy/clinical neurophysiology faculty. Fellows have four weeks of elective time that they can use to dedicate to research if they so desire. Many trainees choose to participate in research projects during their fellowship. The Epilepsy programs at Baylor College of Medicine have a robust translational, clinical and basic science research program. View more about the research from our prominent research faculty.
