Thomas Jefferson University Hospital offers both ACGME Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Training Programs. Pediatric fellowship training is completed at both Jefferson University Hospital as well as A.I. duPont Hospital for Children.

Jefferson University Hospital is a 951-bed hospital and is the main teaching hospital of the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. The Epilepsy Center is a Level 4 NAEC multidisciplinary quaternary care center for the diagnosis and treatment of people with epilepsy. The center has a national referral base. Center faculty includes nine neurologists, three neuropsychologists, four neurosurgeons, and a dedicated neuroradiology team. The center offers basic and advanced diagnostic testing and a full array of conventional and investigational medical and surgical treatments. The surgical program is among the largest in the US, performing up to 80-90 operations yearly.

In addition to its outpatient facilities, the epilepsy center maintains an inpatient video-EEG monitoring unit consisting of eight beds, each in a specially outfitted private room with full telemetry monitoring, where approximately 350 patients are admitted yearly. Patients are evaluated for diagnostic reasons, pre-surgical assessments, intracranial EEG recording, and management of uncontrolled seizures. All adult neurology epilepsy fellows will also have 4-6 weeks of pediatric epilepsy training. We have a strong combined educational program with Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital, which serves as the primary training base for pediatric epilepsy fellows. The A.I. duPont Hospital in Wilmington, DE, serves as the primary training base for pediatric epilepsy fellows. Training at the duPont site includes inpatient and outpatient epilepsy evaluation and treatment, video-EEG monitoring, and educational conferences. Training at A.I. duPont is under the leadership of Dr. Stephen Falchek. 

Applicants must be BC/BE Neurologists and qualify for a Pennsylvania license.
