Advance your neurocritical care skills at Tufts Medical Center
The Neurocritical Care Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is a two-year UCNS-accredited program designed for physicians seeking advanced training in caring for critically ill patients with neurological conditions. Fellows learn about neurointensive care, including how the brain works inside the skull, ICU medicine and bedside procedures. They manage severe strokes, brain injuries that hurt badly, epilepsy and other complex neurological emergencies.
Training takes place in the 15-bed Neurocritical Care Unit (NCCU), which combines a Neurosciences Critical Care Unit and a Neurosciences Intermediate Care Unit. The NCCU provides state-of-the-art multidisciplinary care while supporting and educating families. The program offers one fellowship position per year through the San Francisco Match. Fellows benefit from:
- Comprehensive clinical training in neurointensive care
- Advanced procedural skills, including intracranial pressure monitoring and bedside interventions
- Multidisciplinary collaboration with neurology, neurosurgery, anesthesiology and rehabilitation teams
- Research and scholarly opportunities in clinical studies and quality improvement
- Structured educational experience through bedside teaching, lectures and conferences
