Fellow, Adult Clinical Neurology, Department of Medicine
The Neurology fellowship is a 3-year sub-specialty training program for individuals who have already completed a Master of Medicine residency training in Internal Medicine. It is modelled on the equivalent British 2013 curriculum and adapted by the NFC for the East-Africa context. In addition to the Nairobi-based experience, there are 6 months in year 2 under adjunct faculty in the sister hospitals (AKH-Kisumu and AKH-Dar), and 6 months in year 3 in external pre-ratified institutions, including the Medical Training Initiative (UK). An optional research-focused fourth year may be available, depending on the availability of funding from grants. The program will entail extensive inpatient and outpatient supervised clinical experience. The graduating fellows will have expertise at the subspecialty level in the broad range of adult clinical neurology.
