The HCNE Headache
Fellowship is a one-year post-graduate training
program in the art and science of care for patients
with headache disorders. The Fellowship provides
a unique opportunity to learn from multiple acknowledged
leaders in the field of headache medicine, including
specialists in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.
Fellowship Setting
The
Fellowship training will take place at the clinical
sites of the Directors of HCNE in the northeast
region (see below). The Fellow will be encouraged
to spend extended time at any of the HCNE sites
to gain direct clinical experience with diverse
styles of inpatient and outpatient management
of disorders of headache and facial pain. The
Fellow will also be encouraged to participate
in mentored clinical or translational research
projects including management of cooperative clinical
trials across HCNE sites. The Fellowship will
be administratively based in the Department of
Neurology at the University of Vermont, College
of Medicine, where the Fellow will maintain a
continuity clinic.
Grant
The Fellowship will
extend for twelve months with a projected start
date of July 1 annually. The Fellow will receive
a stipend of U.S. $50,000, and full fringe benefits
including malpractice coverage, appropriate state
licensures, some travel support to rotate through
HCNE sites, and support to attend two HCNE regional
educational symposia and one national meeting
of the American Headache Society. The Fellowship
is supported by an
unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca
Pharmaceuticals.

be competitively considered from graduates of
any ACGME-accredited residency program who are
