The fellowship is an inter-disciplinary program due to strong collaborations with our renowned Endovascular Surgery group and Neuro-Critical Care Unit. Right from state-of-the-art acute stroke care to rehabilitation and secondary prevention, Fellows will have robust hands-on experience and will be given the tools needed to be experts and leaders in the field.

The fellowship is tailored to the trainee’s interests and goals, be it an emphasis on education, research, stroke systems development or primarily clinical practice, all within the framework of ACGME. Our program offers an active role in multiple clinical research trials, teaching opportunities, engagement in community outreach and involvement in various Stroke Committees and Task Forces.

Two positions are offered each year. Applicants should have completed a Neurology residency in an ACGME accredited program.

Through this program, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse set of faculty members. Learn more about our stroke, neurointervention and critical care providers.
