Description:	The clinical-research Fellowship in concussion is a 1-2 year fellowship program that is open to applicants who have completed residency training in Neurology, Neurosurgery or Physical medicine and rehabilitation or are physicians holding a sports medicine certificate and wish to pursue further training in the clinical aspects and research of concussion. This is the first fellowship in sports concussion in Canada. The fellowship is sponsored by the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre, Toronto Western Hospital, University of Toronto, and is an interdisciplinary program at the University of Toronto comprised of faculty, staff and trainees from neurology (cognitive and epilepsy), neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, radiology and neuropathology. The funds for the first Fellowship are being provided by the Allison Project, a fundraising project of the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation and the Haggart Family. Fellows receive intensive training in the evaluation and treatment of patients who have suffered from the concussion spectrum of disorders including acute concussion, post concussive syndrome, and brain degeneration such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy. As part of their training they will acquire knowledge in cognitive/behavioral assessment, neuropsychology, imaging and treatment of patients with concussion. In addition to clinical training, fellows will be engaged in research. Investigators employ a variety of disciplines, including neurophysiology (EEG and MEG), neuropsychology, neuropathology and structural and functional neuroimaging. Current areas of investigation include acute concussion, post concussive syndrome and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Ongoing studies include clinical protocols as well as translational research grounded in basic neurobiology and the cognitive/affective neurosciences.

Description:	The Adult Genetic Epilepsy (AGE) Fellowship Program at Toronto Western Hospital is a well-established program that offers extensive training in all aspects of genetically-determined epilepsies, both common and rare forms. Our AGE Fellowship program is part of one of the largest and most comprehensive Epilepsy Programs in North America, level 4 epilepsy center, with an excellent team of epileptologists, clinical neurophysiologists, genetic counselors, geneticists, neuropsychiatrists, neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists, neurosurgeons, social workers, nurses and dietitians. Fellows will attend the Adult Genetic Epilepsy clinics where they will see a variety of genetic epilepsy cases, including some of the most pharmacoresistant. During this fellowship, fellows will develop expertise in recognition of clinical manifestations as well as indication and interpretation of genetic testing. Our cutting-edge management (both acute and long-term) of genetic epilepsies in adults will give fellows the opportunity to master precision medicine treatments as well as take part in new precision medicine trials. In addition, our multidisciplinary Adult Genetic Epilepsy clinics will give the fellows the opportunity to learn about movement disorders, cognition and other comorbidities seen in adults with genetic epilepsy. The Adult Genetic Epilepsy Program has an important research component and fellows are encouraged to participate in clinical or pre-clinical research. They will have access to the large database and DNA bank of patients with genetic epilepsies and they will be mentored throughout the research. They will also have protected research time. Requirements: Completion of an accredited residency in Neurology. Completion of a general epilepsy fellowship is encouraged but not required.
