The Vascular Neurology Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is a one year, ACGME-accredited fellowship in preparation for sub-specialization in the care and management of patients with stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases as well as clinical research, education, and quality improvement practices.
We believe in providing our fellows with a broad and balanced clinical training involving acute stroke management, critical care of cerebrovascular diseases, young adult stroke and survivorship, teleneurology, neurosonology, secondary stroke prevention, and stroke recovery and rehabilitation. We have at least 300 stroke admissions each year along with a busy consultation service and outpatient practice.
We offer one fellowship position each year for a 12 month training period. This fellowship is part of the NRMP Match.
Below is an outline of the Vascular Neurology Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center's curriculum and fellow responsibilities:
We are interested in helping you develop your career as a Stroke Neurologist in any setting, but we have the resources, experience, and interest in helping you develop an academic career pathway if that is your calling.
We have several Neurologists and colleagues in associated departments who are interested in having fellows lead research projects and provide mentorship for the development of your own areas of research. We can also provide guidance and mentorship regarding activities related to quality improvement and education.
The fellowship provides a salary commensurate with the PGY level, adjusted by the hospital if needed for cost of living. The fellow has 4 weeks of paid vacation and is encouraged to attend at least one academic conference per year.
Additional policies:
All fellowship activities will be supervised by a Neurology attending. Moonlighting is prohibited during the Vascular Neurology fellowship.
