UCNS-Accredited Headache Fellowship — JFK Neuroscience Institute (1-year)

About this program

Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine’s JFK Neuroscience Institute offers a 1‑year UCNS‑accredited Headache Fellowship focused on outpatient management of primary and secondary headache disorders, with integrated clinical research and subspecialty training. Fellows work with multiple UCNS‑certified adult and pediatric headache specialists and receive procedural training including onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections and peripheral nerve blocks while providing patient care. Applicants must be physicians who completed an ACGME‑accredited residency (the program does not accept trainees from non‑ACGME residency programs); applicants who have not completed neurology residency may apply, and J‑1 visas are accepted—positions are listed for 2026–2027 (Dr. Sarah Nageeb) and 2027–2028 (open); contact Program Director Brian Gerhardstein, MD, PhD via the program request form for details.
