The Neurocritical Care fellowship is a one to two-year training program that is ACGME accredited. The curriculum is equally balanced between neurological and medical aspects of critical care. Training is based in the 16-bed Neuro-ICU at Henry Ford Hospital downtown campus.
We have a team of six fellowship-trained neurointensivists, with neurocritical care advanced practice providers and residents that staff the unit 24 hours a day. Fellows will gain proficiency in the medical management of the critically-ill patient. We place particular emphasis on multimodality monitoring. Procedural skills include: traditional and ultrasound-guided central venous line placement, arterial line placement, lumbar puncture/drains, continuous EEG monitoring, brain oxygen monitoring, ventriculostomy management, endotracheal intubation, ventilator management and fiberoptic bronchoscopy. In addition to time spent in the Neuro-ICU, fellows will complete required rotations in the medical intensive care unit (MICU), surgical intensive care unit (SICU), cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) and Anesthesia (OR). Fellows can choose from a variety of elective rotations to further enrich their fellowship experience.
