**Teaching**
The fellowship provides ample time to attend clinical meetings, ward rounds, and seminars, observe specialised clinics, and learn important aspects of neurophysiology and multidisciplinary management of neuromuscular disorders.
The Fellow is encouraged to attend weekly teaching sessions in neurophysiology and clinical neurology run by the department, the RACP paediatric ‘Brain School’, the monthly ANZCNS case presentations, and other relevant courses in neurology and neuroscience if their clinical schedule allows, such as the weekly Victorian adult neurology registrar lectures.
