Vascular Neurology Residency/Fellowship Opportunity
In response to Hurricane Katrina, the Vascular Neurology Program within the Department of Neurology at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston is accepting applications for immediate opportunities for Neurology residents or fellows in our program. We have a thriving NIH funded Vascular Neurology training program that is also ACGME accredited. We have 3 dedicated stroke fellows in the program at present, and can accommodate one or two new additional Neurology residents or fellows at the present time. We would consider any Neurology resident or fellow in an existing U.S. Neurology training program who has had their training interrupted by the Hurricane (or any other similarly serious event outside their control), and who is interested in further training in cerebrovascular disease. Since our Stroke Service is a component of the Department of Neurology, we would be able to craft together an individualized curriculum that would combine both Neurological and Stroke rotations, thereby providing credit for Neurology training depending on need and amount of time worked.
Our routine 2 year stroke fellowship has a strong emphasis on acute therapy and critical care, community/ED organization for acute stroke therapy, telemedicine, laboratory research on new therapies for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, ultrasonography, stroke recovery, epidemiology and clinical trial design, and neuroradiology including endovascular work.
In 2005, we began a track leading to certification in endovascular therapy, in collaboration with the neurovascular section of our department of radiology. This track requires a 1-2 year stroke/critical care fellowship followed by two years of neuroradiology/interventional.
In addition to myself, other members of our Stroke Program faculty include John Choi MD (telemedicine and stroke recovery), Elizabeth Noser MD (stroke rehabilitation), Kachi Illoh MD (stroke immunogenetics), and Jarek Aronowski PhD (Director, Stroke Research Laboratory). Frank Yatsu MD, former Chairman of the Department of Neurology and an international authority on clinical stroke, remains an active member of our teaching program.
We also offer a combined two year stroke/critical care fellowship. The critical care year is a dedicated year under the supervision of the neuro-intensivist members of our stroke team. To become qualified in critical care, you need the equivalent of at least one full year of dedicated fellowship in that area.
We have an exciting and diverse program with opportunity to identify and foster your own unique academic career. Our fellows have been universally successful in finding academic jobs running their own stroke programs after completion of their fellowship. Any perusal of recent Stroke Journals and the AHA meeting will reveal a large number of publications and presentation by our fellows.
More information about our program is available on our web site (www.houstonstroke.com).
Please email me with a copy of your CV and brief letter outlining your situation. Eventually we will need letters of reference.
