Welcome (2024-2025)!
Welcome to the Epilepsy Fellowship Program at the Neurological Institute of New York and the Columbia University/NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Center. We are very pleased to have you here, and we look forward to working with you this upcoming year. In this handbook, we have provided an overview of important information about the program, including the goals and objectives of the program and the individual rotations, our intended methods of monitoring and evaluating your progress, hospital policies, the responsibilities of residents assigned to each of the different services, and schedules for your year.
Additional information should be sought from Dr. Rachael Benson, Program Director or your Program Coordinator Ashley Chang at adc2193@cumc.columbia.edu. Dr. Benson will meet with you quarterly and is available to meet with you as needed.
We look forward to getting to know you during this next year, and we wish you every success as you begin your career in epilepsy. Welcome aboard!
Rachael Jayne Benson, M.D.
Program Director
