Position Description The Department of Neurology at the UC Irvine School of Medicine offers a two‑year neurocritical care fellowship accredited by the United Council for Neurological Subspecialties. The training is based at UC Irvine Medical Center, Orange County's only Level I trauma center and certified comprehensive stroke center. The medical center’s UC Irvine Health Douglas Hospital has advanced neuroimaging capabilities, including a 3‑tesla MRI and a 64‑slice CT scanner.

Our team of neurointensivists includes fellowship‑trained physicians from the Department of Neurology. The 24‑month curriculum includes rotations in other intensive care units, the anesthesiology department, the epilepsy/EEG division, and interventional pulmonology. Elective rotations are negotiable depending on each fellow’s interests. Fellows are expected to assume an increasing level of responsibility and eventually lead the rounds with a team of mid‑level practitioners and residents. They are expected to teach residents and medical students and lead the journal club. Fellows are exposed to a wide variety of cases and are expected to become proficient in ventilator management, ventriculostomy management, and reading continuous EEG recordings. They are also expected to master various procedural skills, including traditional and ultrasound‑guided central venous line placement, arterial line placement, multi‑modality monitoring, lumbar puncture, and endotracheal intubation. The fellowship program is designed to provide extensive training in patient safety, quality improvement, quality monitoring and reporting.
