Neurology Fellowship

About the Program

The University of Pittsburgh, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Institute for Multiple Sclerosis Care and Research and UPMC Medical Education, is pleased to offer fellowships for the 2026-2027 academic year. Applications are accepted through January 31, 2026.

We offer three distinct subspecialty tracks designed to provide balanced training experiences that integrate structured didactics, scholarly activities, and clinical excellence. Our program places a special emphasis on career development and subspecialty board preparation, while ensuring fellows can maintain a healthy work-life balance and enjoy the unique culture of Pittsburgh.

Clinical Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis

This ACGME-accredited fellowship offers a focused opportunity in the management and research of multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology.

NeuroOncology

Our NeuroOncology fellowship provides a unique balance of clinical care and scholarly pursuits. For interested applicants, an optional second research year is available to further deepen academic contributions. We are seeking candidates currently in their fourth year of an ACGME-accredited Neurology residency program.

Women's Neurology

Beginning July 2026, this fellowship offers specialized training at the intersection of neurological disorders and women's health across the lifespan. The program is flexible, allowing fellows to train directly after neurology residency or before or after other neurological subspecialty fellowships.

Fellows will train alongside top experts in the field, including Women's Neurology Division Chief Dr. Eliza Miller, Chair of Neurology Dr. Page Pennell, and Fellowship Director Dr. Angela O'Neal. Training takes place within an integrated multidisciplinary practice setting at Magee-Womens Hospital, where over 10,000 deliveries occur annually. Fellows will collaborate with multiple subspecialists dedicated to women's neurological health. Career development is a priority, with up to 50% protected time for research offered to qualified candidates pursuing a clinical research track. Elective time is tailored to individual clinical and research interests.
