Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program

Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program

Our ACGME-accredited one-year Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program focuses on all aspects of cerebrovascular diseases. It provides care ranging from state-of-the-art acute stroke treatment to stroke prevention.

Working in the Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Center for Stroke Care, the highest-volume center of its kind in New York City, fellows are provided comprehensive exposure to the evaluation and management of both common and uncommon cerebrovascular diagnoses. The fellowship emphasizes interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary patient care and is accompanied by a robust didactic program supported by strong individualized mentorship.

The program is designed with flexibility so that our fellows, who have different backgrounds and aspirations, can tailor their training to achieve their career goals. Upon completion of training, fellows are well prepared to take on academic, hospitalist or stroke director roles.

If you are interested in our program please apply through ERAS.
