MCW Department of Neurology Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Fellowship

Welcome from the Program Director, Ahmed Obeidat, MD, PhD

Thank you for your interest in the neuroimmunology and multiple sclerosis (MS) fellowship program at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). Our program spans 1-2 years of clinical training tailored to the fellow's career goals. We provide extensive training in diagnosing and managing MS and closely related disorders, e.g., neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders. Further, our fellows get the chance to diagnose and treat various autoimmune conditions affecting the central nervous system, e.g., autoimmune encephalitis. We also provide training in clinical trial operation and academic neuroimmunology teaching skills. Our team comprises several fellowship-trained neuroimmunology and MS specialists, advanced practice providers, clinical pharmacist, MS-certified nurses, and a team of clinical research staff. Our team cares for thousands of people living with MS and related disorders; the National MS Society designates us as a center of comprehensive care and a partner in MS care. We are also a member of the Consortium of MS Centers. We thank you for your interest and look forward to receiving your application.
