The Behavioral Neurology Fellowship program at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, is a one- or two-year fellowship that provides you with ample opportunities to gain the knowledge and experience required to diagnose and treat patients with a variety of complex neurological conditions. We are committed to providing you with a rich learning environment full of clinical, educational, and research opportunities that will equip you to pursue the career path of your choice.

Clinical opportunities consist of seeing patients in the behavioral neurology clinic, rapidly progressive dementia clinic, neurorehabilitation, and various electives, such as movement disorders, cerebrovascular neurology, autoimmune neurology, and many others. Educational opportunities include but are not limited to participating in the Mayo Clinic Behavioral Neurology lecture series which provides an update on the diagnosis, treatment, and mechanistic understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.

You will have numerous opportunities to teach other medical students and trainees as well as give formal lectures. Fellows frequently engage in scholarly activities with our faculty and large-scale studies run through the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Our fellows regularly present their research at regional, national, and international conferences.

Graduates of the Behavioral Neurology Fellowship have gone on to work in a variety of practice settings at both private practice clinics and academic institutions. Among those who have pursued careers in academic settings, many have made major contributions to the field of behavioral neurology and are leaders in their respective divisions and departments.

We enjoy working with top-notch trainees and getting to see them refine their clinical skills and crystallize their research interests before going on to the next step in their career path.
