Vanderbilt University Medical Center Program
About This Program
The Vanderbilt Vascular Neurology fellowship is a one-year, intensive clinical training program that prepares its graduates to enter a wide variety of careers in stroke and vascular neurology. The cornerstone of the fellowship is the 6 months fellows spend on the busy inpatient stroke service, where they serve as junior attendings. This experience is bolstered by a twice-weekly continuity clinic, as well as exposure to neurocritical care, neuroradiology, inpatient rehabilitation, and research.
