Stanford Comprehensive Epilepsy Program Adult Fellowship
Clinical fellowship positions for 2023 are full. Exceptional candidates may inquire if program expansion is possible.
We aim to participate in an NRMP match for all epilepsy-accredited first year fellowship positions in 2024 using ERAS. Please check https://www.nrmp.org/fellowship/epilepsy-and-clinical-neurophysiology/ for timelines and updates. Inquiries are welcome until program match agreements are finalized.
All fellows accepted through the NRMP match for epilepsy will be eligible for a second-year training pathway as mutually desired. Admission to the program exclusively for one year of CNP-EEG training is not routinely offered; this and other second year fellowship positions are not offered separately through the match process. Direct inquiries about CNP-EEG fellowships are only considered on a time frame of when such positions may become unreserved, ~6-11 months in advance, should current fellows choose a non-accredited second year.
Adult Fellowship Program
The Stanford Comprehensive Epilepsy Fellowship Program accepts approximately 4 first year fellows annually for intensive advanced training in Epilepsy. Clinical Neurophysiology with emphasis on EEG is reserved for fellows committed to two years of training. Both training programs are accredited by the American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Two-year fellowships are encouraged, but one-year fellowships are also offered. Several distinct training pathways are possible for the second year of fellowship and more supervisory responsibility is expected. Overall the program strives for a complement of at least 5-6 fellows. A separate pediatric epilepsy program admits 2 fellows annually.
Interested applicants must complete an accredited Neurology residency eligible for ACGME fellowship training by the time of entry and have a California license to practice medicine. Applicants should be moving toward a likely career in academic practice. Acceptance is on a competitive basis and applicants from diverse groups are encouraged to apply.
For special applications outside of the match process, please send:
- A curriculum vitae
- Short personal statement stating training and career goals
- Minimum three letters of recommendation via email to:
Kevin Graber, MD

Applicants interested specifically in an accredited pediatric epilepsy fellowship should apply directly to Dr. William Gallentine. Those interested in Clinical Neurophysiology training with primary emphasis in intraoperative monitoring or electromyography should instead apply to those programs.
Participation in the clinical fellowship program is not currently available for graduates of non-ACGME accredited/foreign programs, but interested candidates for postdoctoral epilepsy training may contact investigators directly:
