Cerebrovascular Disease/Neurocritical Care
Jefferson University Hospital of the Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University is a 925-bed tertiary referral medical center. There are 14-bed Neurosensory-ICU and 12 bed intermediate NICU. Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, dedicated for the departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery along with the Farber Institute for Neurosciences, has 20-bed Neurointensive ICU, totaling 46-bed NICU with separate 12-bed Acute Stroke Unit in the Jefferson University System. Jefferson is a major referral center for stroke and critically ill neurology and neurosurgery patients for tri-state areas.
Our program has one of the largest Neurocritical Care Units in the country. Jefferson neurosurgery and endovascular neuroradiology program treats the highest volume of patients with aneurysms, brain AVMs, and angioplasty and stenting occlusive carotids and intracranial disease in the nation. In this environment, stroke and NICU fellows will learn to become leaders in the academic field of stroke and neurocritical care. Fellowship can be tailored to meet each fellow’s goals and interests. There are two tracts: one year stroke training and two year neurocritical care training. Stroke fellows will learn inpatient and outpatient management of cerebrovascular disease. NICU fellows will supervise both neurology and neurosurgery residents in the unit and lead the team for daily patient care. Advanced training content in neurological critical care is based on the guidelines by the Society of Critical Care Medicine. Ample opportunities are available for clinical research study with large volume of patient data. There are four stroke and neurocritical care attending staffs in the division.
