Program OverviewThe Department of Neurology offers a one- or two-year fellowship in cerebrovascular disease. The first year of training is in an ACGME-approved Vascular Neurology program. Fellows develop expertise in the management of acute cerebrovascular disease while assisting in directing the care of patients on the Stroke Service, including those patients in the six-bed Gustave L. Levy Acute Stroke Unit and the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit. In addition to running the service in the stroke unit and NSICU and obtaining training in transcranial and carotid dopplers, fellows also spend time in the Neuroradiology and Neurointerventional departments. The stroke fellows precept a weekly resident stroke clinic, for which Dr. Horowitz is the director. Two months/year are spent as the stroke fellow at Maimonides Hospital in the stroke division under Dr. Rudolph, which is considered a highly valuable hands-on experience. Maimonides and Sinai are not only designated stroke centers in NYC but they are also JCAHO approved stroke centers, which was a significant accomplishment for the division, as Mount Sinai was the first such center approved in Manhattan. Academic experience for the fellows also includes a weekly vascular neurology conference in conjunction with the departments of Neurosurgery and Neuroradiology. Research Opportunities Fellows participate in ongoing federally funded neuroepidemiologic and clinical research, including acute interventional trials. Opportunities exist for conducting research in the Department's noninvasive vascular laboratory and for additional research experience related to the fellow's own interests. The second year of the program allows the fellow to focus more heavily on research activities.
