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, with 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
- 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.
Please contact our program coordinator, Ms. Johnson, for further details.
