Interventional Neurology Training Experience
Gain specialized expertise in advanced neurointerventional techniques through our
comprehensive two-year fellowship program. Fellows are trained to diagnose and treat
a wide range of neurovascular conditions using cutting-edge procedures and technologies.
Program Highlights
Fellows receive hands-on training in:
- Embolization Techniques: For cerebral aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), head and neck vascular malformations, and tumors.
- Endovascular Procedures: Including spinal tumor embolization, acute cerebral thrombectomy, and carotid revascularization.
- Angioplasty & Stenting: For steno-occlusive arterial disease of cervical and intracranial arteries.
- Venous Pathology Management: Intracranial venous stenting and sinus revascularization for cerebral sinus thrombosis.
- Pediatric Neurovascular Care: Procedures tailored for neonates, infants, and children.
Training Structure
First Year
- Develop clinical neurology skills and refine neurologic examination techniques for neurovascular conditions.
- Assist and perform diagnostic microangiographic procedures under supervision.
- Participate in teaching rounds, medical student mentorship, and weekly cerebrovascular conferences.
- Achieve competency in independently performing diagnostic microangiographic procedures
and understanding neurointerventional setups.
Second Year
- Take on greater responsibility in performing both diagnostic and interventional procedures.
- Manage neurovascular patients in inpatient settings.
- Deepen expertise in advanced neurointervention techniques through continued clinical
exposure.
Fellowship Outcomes
Upon completing the program, fellows are:
- Prepared to pass the Interventional Neurology Board Certification by the United Council of Neurological Subspecialties (UCNS).
- Fully equipped to practice independently in the specialized field of neurointervention.
