Neurocritical Care Fellowship
The Neurocritical Care Fellowship at Boston University Medical Center (BUMC) is a two-year training program accredited by the United Council of Neurologic Subspecialities (UCNS) and ACGME.
BUMC is a tertiary care, Level One Trauma Center, located in the heart of the metro area. The Neurocritical Care (NCC) service treats 500-600 patients per year with diverse diagnoses including subarachnoid hemorrhage, large territory stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, status epilepticus, neuromuscular emergencies, CNS infections, CNS tumors, and post-operative neurosurgical patients. Fellows have the opportunity to manage these critically ill patients under the guidance of five, board certified, fellowship-trained neurointensivists.
In addition to the valuable clinical experience, BUMC prides itself on rigorous educational curricula and research opportunities. Weekly Neurovascular conferences, Clinical Neuroscience Grand Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality Conferences and multi-disciplinary journal clubs provide fellows with in-depth understanding of current clinical issues. We provide research support with close mentorship to guide fellows through hypothesis generation, manuscript writing, and presentation at national meetings. Mentors are all experienced, published in peer-reviewed journals, actively engaged in their own projects, highly connected with neurointensivists throughout America, and will aid with networking and cross institutional projects.
Applicants to the BUMC Neurocritical Care Fellowship must be graduates of a residency program in neurology, neurological surgery, internal medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, child neurology, or emergency medicine that is accredited by the ACGME or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC).
