University of Rochester Medicine Program
About This Program
The University of Rochester Neurocritical Care Fellowship offers a unique combination of high-acuity clinical training, individualized mentorship, and multidisciplinary collaboration. With only two fellows per year, trainees receive exceptional hands-on experience in a dedicated NeuroMedicine ICU within a Level I Trauma Center (with primary oversight of TBI patients) and Comprehensive Stroke Center (with high embolectomy case volumes). Fellows graduate with strong procedural skills, extensive exposure to complex neurologic and neurosurgical critical illness, and opportunities for research, teaching, and quality improvement-all within a collegial environment that prioritizes both professional growth and personal well-being.
