Recommend Trauma/Neurocritical Care fellowship after coming out of neurosurgery residency, although depending on your residency program it may not be that helpful.
Neuro-critical care has a separate governing body than trauma/surgery critical care. There is a very large difference in what the two realms see.Can you elaborate please

My program director flat out told me that given the amount of trauma/critical care we do from early on in residency at our program, such a fellowship would be unnecessary (or as he said, "a waste of time"). I suppose there are some residencies without a lot of trauma, in which case someone may feel compelled to pursue that fellowship...There are very few centers who specifically recruit neurosurgeons with a trauma/cc fellowship since it is already in our basic skill set. I'm also not sure why a neurosurgeon would want to take on an ICU attending role...
One of my favorite professors in med school was our neuro ICU director. Did a neurosurgery residency followed by an endovascular fellowship then a neurocritical care fellowship. That guy was a beast to say the least.
