Clinical MS Fellowship
The Mandell Center for Multiple Sclerosis Clinical MS Fellowship
The Mandell Center is a comprehensive care center for MS patients that was established in 2008 to deliver services with emphasis on clinical care and research. There are both inpatient and outpatient facilities that encompass a wide range of care needs for MS patients. The Mandell Center Multiple Sclerosis Fellowship is a fully funded, one year subspecialty training program.
Clinical Resources:
The Mandell MS Center features the following on-site clinical services:
- Physiatry services
- Neuro-rehabilitation MS specialty team (physical, occupational, and speech therapy)
- Neuro-urology services including urodynamic testing and Botox
- Neuropsychology services
- Behavioral Health services
- Case management/social work services
Goals and Objectives for Training:
Mandell Center Multiple Sclerosis fellows will be trained in the most up to date management of MS care including methods of MS diagnosis, treatment selection, symptom management, rehabilitation needs, and comprehensive care. MS fellows are expected to actively participate in the decision-making process of their patients’ care. The goal is to learn methods of diagnosis, selection of disease modifying therapies, interpretation of magnetic resonance images, symptomatic treatment, and participation in clinical trials.
Clinical Research:
The Mandell MS Center focuses on both rehabilitation based investigator initiated clinical trials, as well as industry sponsored trials focusing on disease modifying therapies. We are affiliated with Oxford University in the UK and Quinnipiac University in CT and conduct ongoing research with both institutions. The fellow will be expected to learn the fundamentals of MS clinical trial research design, EDSS (expanded disability status scale) testing and interpretation and will participate in the center’s active clinical trials. Additionally, the fellow will be encouraged to be active in his or her own clinical research project under the guidance of our research center.
