RESIDENCIES & FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

MSH Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship

The Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital is one of the first to be accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Subspecialty Training. As the largest program in New York City, it advances neuroendovascular medicine by training the next generation of physicians in neurological diseases. With a focus on neurovascular pathology, each fellow is provided broad exposure to all aspects of adult and pediatric neuroendovascular surgery, including the treatment of strokes, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and arteriovenous fistulas of the brain, central nervous system tumors, occlusive vascular diseases, revascularization, traumatic injury, maxillofacial vascular malformations, and spinal compression fractures.

On average, over 2,200 neuroendovascular procedures are performed each year at Mount Sinai Health System, including 300 acute stroke interventions, the cornerstone of the Neuroendovascular Fellowship. Our program also supports training and experience in clinical research, including participation in cutting-edge, multi-center trials with our Academic Research Organization (ARO), allowing our fellows to develop the skills they need to conduct their own independent research.

Mount Sinai’s Neuroendovascular Fellowship Program also enjoys collaborative relationships with nationally recognized programs in neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, otolaryngology, cardiology, interventional cardiology and vascular surgery, and pediatrics, all of which result in excellent opportunities for interdisciplinary clinical care, research, and education.

Our faculty and fellows are currently participating in several randomized, multicenter clinical trials relating to acute stroke, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations. Our fellows are trained on all protocols and serve as sub-investigators on these clinical trials. They have access to patient databases, allowing for both independent prospective and retrospective studies. Basic science opportunities are also available within laboratories in Mount Sinai Health System and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Our program is limited to candidates who have received an MD from an accredited domestic or foreign institution. Fellows will only be accepted on a full-time basis, and they must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States at the time of their appointment.
