The Johns Hopkins Headache Medicine Fellowship offered by the Department of Neurology aims to prepare the next generation of headache specialists for the independent practice of headache medicine.

Our training curriculum is based on supervised inpatient and outpatient clinical work with increasing responsibility for all types of patients with head and face pain. Fellows provide care to both pediatric and adult patients. To match their professional interests and goals, our fellows have the freedom to design their own rotation schedules.
