Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
Neurocritical Care Fellowship Program
The Ochsner neurocritical care fellowship program is a United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) accredited program. Neurocritical care is an evolving subspecialty of critical care that has grown remarkably since its inception in the 1980s. Our program prepares physicians for the independent practice of neurological intensive care through a structured combination of cognitive, diagnostic, therapeutic, and the procedural skills training. Our fellows learn through treating a wide array of patient with both acute medical and acute neurological illness.
We are a comprehensive team of UCNS certified physicians trained in both anesthesiology and neurology. We work closely with the departments of anesthesiology, neurology, and neurosurgery in a dedicated state-of-the-art 34 bed neurocritical care unit located at the Ochsner Medical Center - Jefferson Highway in New Orleans. Ochsner Health also boasts an extensive growing Tele-Stroke Program currently reaching over 45 hospitals throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. We are one of the fasted growing Tele-stroke networks in the country.
The core curriculum of Ochsner neurocritical care program is balanced to cover neurological diseases and conditions and medical diseases and conditions that commonly complicate acute neurological illnesses.
