Neurology Subspecialty Training

There is a notable lack of Neurological subspecialty training in Armenia. Stroke centers have only recently been developed in the last decade, the only Armenian Pain Clinic was just established in 2021, and Neurologic-ICU care doesn’t exist at all.

BU-AMP has coordinated with the school’s department of neurology to invite Armenian neurologists for one-month observerships at Boston Medical Center for specialized training in stroke, pain management, and neuro-ICU care, beginning in November 2024. BMC neurologists are also projected to travel to Armenia in 2025 to help develop neuro-ICU wards and stroke centers and to demonstrate and supervise procedures in pain management – such as epidural steroid injections and nerve blocks.
