1 Year Clinical Fellowship and Observerships In Dizziness and Eye Movement Center
This is a salaried fellowship supported by revenue generated in the clinic. Our approach to the evaluation and nonsurgical treatment of patients with dizziness and balance disorders are taught in the clinic. Key points in the history, an extensive clinical exam, pertinent vestibular testing (bithermal water caloric, rotary chair, dynamic posturography, vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP), subjective visual vertical (SVV), ECoG, ABR, and quantified dynamic visual acuity) medical management, and vestibular rehabilitation will be stressed. All equipment, clinic and rehabilitation are on site. This will be of interest to physicians. If interested contact Dr. Tusa at 404 712-1976 or by email rtusa@emory.edu.
