Description
Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education’s Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) Fellowship provides intensive clinical training in Rochester, Minnesota. Fellows work with physicians, technologists, and surgical teams across routine and complex procedures, developing skills in equipment setup, signal acquisition, troubleshooting, and real-time interpretation. Training progresses from direct supervision toward greater independence in both in-room and on-site remote monitoring.
The fellowship combines clinical experience with protected research time, teaching opportunities, and professional development. Research may include retrospective analyses, prospective studies, quality improvement initiatives, and hypothesis-driven projects in IONM and related neurophysiology. Fellows can use an internal case database integrated with Mayo Clinic Data Explorer, advanced data tools, and Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design resources for study design, analysis, and dissemination.
