Neurohospitalist Fellowship

Clinical rotations are divided throughout the year in 2-4 week blocks including neurology general inpatient, neurology consults, stroke inpatient, neurocritical care, and electives.

The goal of the program is to prepare the fellow for independent practice as a neurohospitalist.

 

All trainees will select a focus track in one of three domains for additional advanced training: (1) healthcare quality and patient safety, (2) health services and outcomes research, or (3) clinical research. The department will support fellows in completing a graduate certificate program through the NU Graduate School in one of these three domains, and will seek to integrate the experience with either a NMH-based quality improvement project or a focused clinical research project.

Fellows are expected to complete at least one project during their training. They are also encouraged to present their data at a national meeting and author either an original manuscript, review article or book chapter during their fellowship.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine seeks to attract inquisitive, motivated fellows and is committed to providing them with every opportunity for success. We encourage a diverse and inclusive work environment that allows each trainee to achieve their personal goals.

For more information on Northwestern’s commitment to diversity, please see the Feinberg School of Medicine Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

The Neurosciences Health, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (HEDI) Committee was developed to foster a culture of diversity and inclusion in the Neurosciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Learn more about our work.

Candidates must have completed a residency program in neurology accredited in the United States or Canada.

Residents are selected for the neurohospitalist fellowship from eligible applicants based upon their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills and personal qualities. No discrimination is made based upon sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability or veteran status. Approximately half of the eligible applicants are invited for personal interviews.

Complete the GME application and collect the following documents:

• Three letters of recommendation (one should be from your neurology residency program director)
• CV
• Personal statement
• A copy of your state-of-residency (temporary or permanent) medical license
• Copy of official USMLE Step/Scores I, II & III

Please submit the completed application and all required documents to our Application Portal.

Interviews for positions are by invitation only. We are partnering with other neurohospitalist fellowships to adhere to an agreed upon set of dates for offers and acceptances. The goal is to allow candidates the time and opportunity to consider multiple programs and for programs to visit with multiple candidates.

The date of first offers for fellowship positions beginning July 2025 is May 6, 2024. To be considered for an offer at that date, please have all application materials submitted no later than March 31, 2024. We will accept late applications provided we have a position remaining to fill.
