Position description
The UCLA Steve Tisch BrainSPORT Program is a multidisciplinary center aimed at providing comprehensive neurologic care for athletes. We have relationships with various professional and collegiate athletic programs and also close partnerships with the U.S. Military and U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, through UCLA Operation Mend. In our two-year clinical and research fellowship, trainees will work closely with clinic attending neurologists and neuropsychologists.
The fellowship exposes trainees to sports-related concussion, preseason neurologic examination, sideline and office concussion management, mTBI military patients, and some more severe TBI patients. Additionally, trainees will learn how to provide care focused on brain health for athletes across the lifespan. Under the mentorship of leading scientists, fellows will be expected to design and carry out a research project investigating neurotrauma, sports neurology, or another related topic of their choice.
