Neurocritical Care Fellowship at The Mount Sinai Hospital

The Neurocritical Care Fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is a two-year program that trains fellows to become neuro-intensivists. Accredited by the United Council of Neurological Subspecialties and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the fellowship provides a foundation for trainees to receive dedicated interdisciplinary mentorship, advance the field of neurocritical care, and perform high-quality research. Training at the neurosciences intensive care units at both The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai West our fellows learn management of the full spectrum of neuro-emergencies, including cerebrovascular emergencies, status epilepticus, neurotrauma, neuro-infections, and complex post-operative cases.

Building on the fundamentals of critical care, fellows learn to prevent secondary neurological injuries and provide family-centered care to improve outcomes. The Neurocritical Care Fellowship provides you with the tools and mentoring needed to face clinical challenges in this evolving field. We emphasize multidisciplinary, evidence-based practice and learning to develop fellows into well-rounded and compassionate clinical neuro-intensivists.
