| We accept one fellow per year for a two-year, UCNS-accredited fellowship (planning for ACGME accreditation in 2023). Our Neurocritical Care Unit (NCCU) at the University of Utah is a 23-bed unit with an average daily census of 18 patients and is the busiest intensive care unit within the U of U Health system. Over the course of the program, fellows receive graded autonomy and are well prepared to transition into independent, neurocritical-care practice. Common conditions encountered during the fellowship are traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), brain tumors, vascular malformations, dural venous sinus thrombosis, neuromuscular emergencies, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myasthenia gravis. Fellowship trainees are exposed to the following ICU procedures: arterial lines, central lines, lumbar punctures, ICP monitors, EVDs, lumbar drains, airway management, ventilator management, codes, intubations, bronchoscopy, chest tubes, and percutaneous tracheostomies. The neurocritical care fellowship is available to physicians trained and board-eligible in the following residencies: Neurology Neurosurgery Emergency Medicine Anesthesia | |
