NCCU Fellowship

The WVU Neurocritical care fellowship is a world-leading, CAST approved fellowship for neurosurgical trainees or graduates seeking a career in neurointensive care. Our fellowship focuses on teaching trainees to lead a multidisciplinary team of specialists to provide care to the severely neurologically injured, whether from trauma, stroke, infection or other neurological illnesses.

Our NCCU is a 21-bed unit, located in the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at Ruby Memorial Hospital. We are part of a level 1 stroke and trauma center. The NCCU handles over 3000 admissions per year.

\In addition to clinical excellence, our NCCU and fellowship are focused on clinical innovation and improving care for our patients. We have developed several nation- and world-leading programs including the use of blood-based biomarkers in neurologic disease, active CSF exchange for the treatment of a variety of diseases, stereo EEG for monitoring of injured patients and quantification of cortical spreading depressions, portable MRI, AI-based fiber tracking and other methods for evaluating brain network disturbances of stroke and traumatic brain injury. We are also integrated into our institution’s multidisciplinary neurotrauma center and integrated rehab center.

The neurocritical care fellowship at the WVU RNI is a premier training program that trains fellows in innovative and cutting edge technology as well as to be leaders in neurocritical care. Interested residents should contact us directly for opportunities to train with us.
