| Training Program for Neurology Fellow |
| The programme aims to provide the necessary training and exposure, so that by the end of the attachment (6 months minimum), the fellow will be able to: |
- Manage common childhood neurological disorders and acute neurological emergencies.
- Be familiar with EEG reports and imaging studies.
- Order appropriate tests (metabolic, genetic, electrophysiologic) for suspected neurological disorders.

|
The Fellow will be actively involved in the inpatient neurology consults and run the outpatient neurology clinics under supervision of consultant(s).
The Fellow will be rotated through Child Development Unit, EEG laboratory, Botox clinics, neurological multi-disciplinary clinics (spasticity, paediatric orthopaedic-neuromuscular, spina bifida) during his attachment. Arrangement can be made for elective rotation to the diagnostic imaging centre and neurophysiology laboratory at National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) if needed. |

| Facilities |
| We have the ability to provide routine EEG and continuous bedside video-EEG monitoring for children with seizure disorders. Concomitant polysomnography-EEG monitoring can be performed for evaluation of sleep disorders.
We are well supported by a team of neurosurgeons, intensivists, doctors from other subspecialties in the Division of Paediatric Medicine to provide a comprehensive and holistic care to the children with neurological disorders.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of rehabilitation therapists in-house as well. We intend to set up a neuro-rehabilitation unit to cater specifically to the needs of children in the near future.
We have on-site CT and angiography facility and hope to acquire an on-site MRI machine soon. | | |
