the Director, three additional neurologists, a dentist with expertise
in headache, facial pain, and trigeminal neuralgia, a psychiatrist,

so that they can make contributions to patient care and advance the level
of knowledge of headache medicine. The Fellowship program prepares Fellows
for a career in clinical headache practice or academic headache medicine
and/or research.
