| The Neurocritical Care fellowship at Rush is a two-year program accredited by both the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the United Council for Neurological Subspecialties (UCNS). In addition, Rush offers a one-year program for individuals with prior training in critical care. A strong didactic program provides comprehensive reviews of all topics of the UCNS neurocritical care core curriculum. Clinical experiences include rotations in a variety of settings, and research pursuits are encouraged and supported. Fellows receive advanced clinical training in Rush University Medical Center’s busy, 28-bed Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, or NSICU, where the neurocritical care team provides 24-hour coverage in a closed-unit model. Fellows also complete rotations in the Rush MICU, and AICU, and in the Surgical/Trauma ICU at the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Additional time is spent in anesthesiology, pulmonology, and neurosurgery. Fellows may use elective time for other rotations, including palliative care and infectious diseases or for defined research projects. Fellows are strongly encouraged to pursue research with goals of presenting at national meetings and publishing in journals. A monthly journal club and research meeting build basic research principles. Fellows may also participate in the department’s clinical trials, while independent investigative work enjoys close faculty support and mentorship. | |
