Past Neuromodulation Medicine Fellows | MnDRIVE Brain Conditions

Nicholas Arnoudse, M.D.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
[email protected]

Mentors: Ziad Nahas, M.D., MSCR

Dr. Arnoudse is our third MnDRIVE Neuromodulation Medicine Fellow. He is interested in utilizing neuromodulation techniques such as esketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and electroconvulsive therapy in his clinical practice. Dr. Arnoudse is interested in advancing the field of neuromodulation through research and the profound impacts involved with using these interventions with his patients. He is pursuing this fellowship to gain an in-depth knowledge base of the current basic science and evidence-based clinical applications of neuromodulation, to fine-tune his skill set of its delivery and to explore new therapeutic applications to provide the best care to all his patients.

Jeremy Chaikind, M.D.

Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences

Mentor: Ziad Nahas, M.D.

Dr. Chaikind is our fourth MnDRIVE Neuromodulation Medicine Fellow. He has been excited by the clinical potential of neuromodulatory interventions for mental illness and passionate about improving their availability to patients. He believes that developing neuromodulation training for psychiatry students and residents is an essential way to expand access to these lifesaving treatments. Through this fellowship, he plans to deepen his understanding of these therapies through close collaboration with researchers exploring their underlying neurobiology and colleagues in neurology, neurosurgery, and anesthesia who help to implement them clinically. He hopes to integrate these experiences in neuromodulation with his interest in medical education to become a better clinician educator.
