Education and Training

Fellowship:

We have a two-year combined clinical and research fellowship training program to develop Clinician-Scientists in the field of Neurocritical Care who will eventually be leaders in the field.  Residents from the departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, Anesthesiology & Peri-Operative Medicine, Pulmonary/ Critical Care and Emergency Medicine will have structured curriculum during their rotations in the Neuro-ICU.  Nursing education and training of Physician Assistants is an integral part of the program.

Resident Rotation:

During all three years of neurology residency training, residents rotate through the NSICU on a monthly rotation.  Neurology residents round daily with the NSICU attending and collaborate with the team, which includes medical students, Anesthesiology residents, fellows, social workers, case workers, nutritionists, physical and respiratory specialists. 

Medical Student Rotation:

The Neuroscience Critical Care Elective is designed to have clinical responsibilities for medical students in a step-wise fashion over the course of their rotations(s). Rotations are typically in blocks of 4 weeks in the NSICU.
