Neurohospitalist Fellowship
Welcome to the Department of Neurology
Innovative, Flexible Program
The University of Colorado Department of Neurology and Neurohospitalist-Neurovascular Section has a long and continuous history of innovation in clinical excellence, education, and research. Our Neurohospitalist Fellowship Program extends this legacy of innovation.
Personally-tailored mentorship and exceptional schedule flexibility balances professional growth opportunities with core educational and clinical experiences. Fellows are exposed to a diverse patient population at the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Center and affiliate telehealth and telestroke sites located throughout the Mountain West. A carefully curated didactic program promotes dynamic learning across clinical science, research methodology, medical education, and professionalism-of-neurohospitalism domains. Wide-ranging clinical expertise and direct, mentored connection to all levels of research, education, and administrative leadership are provided by a highly-engaged Section Faculty. The result is an exceptionally well-resourced Fellowship Program centered upon mentorship and personalized to each Fellow’s individual aspirations.
