NORTHWESTERN MEDICINE NEUROLOGY AND NEUROSURGERY LAUNCH INNOVATIVE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS

Northwestern Medicine Departments of Neurology and Neurological Surgery are committed to developing future leaders and offer several new innovative fellowship programs for students, residents and fellows to build their skills, provide evidence-based clinical care through hospital affiliates and develop new treatments through multidisciplinary research.
 
Neurohospitalist fellowship
 
The neurohospitalist medicine fellowship is a one- or two-year fellowship program to train future leaders in academic neurohospitalist medicine. The core objectives are to increase medical knowledge and skills related to high complexity neurologic cases referred to tertiary centers, team management and leadership, medical education, and healthcare quality and safety.
 
The neurohospitalist fellowship program is among the first six neurohospitalist programs in the nation to be awarded fellowship accreditation.

Other advanced treatment modalities such as image guidance and minimally invasive surgery supplement the deformity training.
