The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) has announced the opening of applications for the 2026 fellowship match in neuromuscular (NM) and clinical neurophysiology (CNP) medicine. This initiative allows neurology and physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) residents to pursue specialized fellowships in these fields, which are crucial for diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders.

The AANEM Fellowship Match Portal will open for applications on January 1, 2026. This standardized application process, which differs from traditional timelines, provides residents with additional time to explore various medical specialties. The goal is to help them make informed decisions about their future careers, particularly in NM medicine.

Applicants must submit their rank lists by May 26, 2026, with the Match Day scheduled for June 1, 2026. Participation in this match is a requirement for all NM programs in the United States, ensuring a streamlined and equitable selection process.
