University of Cincinnati's Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program

The Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program is a 1-2 year program that includes course work and extensive hands-on experience in clinical research as well as unique training in the evaluation and treatment of patients with acute stroke.

This fellowship program has been training neurologists and emergency physicians for the past two decades with the goal of producing academic leaders and clinical researchers in the area of cerebrovascular disease. Individuals trained have been productive as measured by publications and subsequent grant awards.

The hallmarks of this training program are extensive hands-on experience in the hyper-acute treatment and subsequent management of acute stroke patients, substantial protected time for course work in clinical research methodology and clinical research projects, interdisciplinary collaboration, and interactions, and careful mentoring.

Neurocritical care experience is also required within the fellowship program with a one month rotation in our 20-bed Multidisciplinary Neurointensive Care Unit.

The stroke fellow is provided with substantial protected time to attend course work for clinical research methodology, biostatistics and epidemiology and is expected to spend much of their time in clinical research projects including acute treatment research protocols, epidemiologic studies and chart reviews as well as grant writing and manuscript production.
