Speak with the judgement and clarity Clinical Neurophysiology programs remember

Question practice

Questions drawn from the realities of Clinical Neurophysiology

Practise explaining the clinical decisions, patient conversations and career experiences that matter in Clinical Neurophysiology—then handle follow-ups that ask for evidence behind your first answer.

1. 01

   What do you anticipate will be the most challenging aspect of transitioning from a neurology resident to a clinical neurophysiology fellow, and how will you address it?

2. 02

   A patient with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome has normal median nerve NCS at the wrist; what are potential reasons for this, and what next steps would you take?

3. 03

   Describe a time you had to deliver difficult news to a patient based on neurophysiological findings, such as a diagnosis of ALS or a poor prognosis from a comatose EEG.

4. 04

   During intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, you suspect a false positive alert due to equipment malfunction, but the surgeon is becoming increasingly agitated. What is your ethical responsibility?

5. 05

   What current research questions or gaps in knowledge within clinical neurophysiology do you find most compelling, and why?

6. 06

   What specific components of our clinical neurophysiology fellowship program, such as our emphasis on continuous EEG monitoring or our strong neuromuscular clinic, particularly attract you?
