Does anyone know where I can find a list of the programs that have trained neurologists in the past?

I am strongly considering interventional neurology after realizing I love to do procedures. My only concern is about wearing lead for a whole days work. Does this idea bother anyone else? I remember wearing lead through long vascular surgery cases in medical school and thinking I was going to pass out. Are there options for people who are interested in endovascular, but who don't think they can wear lead for their entire career.

Not necessary to join if you don't wish to. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are infinitely better to enter the EVNS world from neurology. The fellowship places used to be public, if no longer, then I'd just check the ACGME website. They'll be on there.

Good luck.
