Education/Clinical Experience - Neurocritical Care Fellowship Program
Our fellowship is a two year program. The fellow will spend a total of 12 months in the neurocritical care unit. Fellows spend four months divided between medical, cardiac, and surgical ICUs. The remaining months will consist of rotations with vascular-neurology, neurosurgery, epilepsy, electives and research time. Fellows will become proficient in procedural skills including: intubation, bronchoscopy, thoracentesis, arterial line placement, and central line placement. Fellows will also have the opportunity to become proficient in bedside percutaneous tracheostomy.
During dedicated neurocritical care rotations the fellow will assume a leadership role on one of 3 rounding teams. He/she will be expected to lead rounds, teach residents/students/APPs/NPs, decide on consultations, oversee/perform procedures, and formulate/execute therapeutic plans.
Our fellows will have access to national conferences and are strongly encourage to engage in research and participate in a yearly conference by way of article submissions or poster presentations. Fellows are also expected to lead M&M conferences, and occasionally a Journal Club, on a monthly basis.
