Headache Medicine is a unique subspecialty of neurology that demands expertise beyond that typically acquired during residency training.
The Jefferson Headache Center Fellowship Program has been UCNS-accredited since 2006 and internationally recognized for more than 30 years. It provides the highest comprehensive training to prepare fellows for impactful careers in both clinical and academic headache medicine.
Fellows gain extensive experience in outpatient and inpatient headache care and participate in clinical research tailored to their interests. An optional pediatric headache rotation at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is available. The program offers 12 months of training, with an optional second research-focused year. Fellows devote the majority of their time to clinical care, with 10% protected for scholarly activity (4.5 days/week clinical, 0.5 day/week research/academic), expandable to 20% for those undertaking substantial research projects.
