Welcome to the Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program in the department of neurology at the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville. This one-year program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, or ACGME and features a diverse, competency-based curriculum which combines broad clinical experience with exposure to interventional neuroradiology, vascular neurosurgery and neurosonology. Opportunities for fellows to conduct independent clinical research and participate in clinical trials are present as well.

The fellows’ inpatient rotations and outpatient stroke clinic are conducted at the multidisciplinary UF Health Neuroscience Institute, which is a DNV Healthcare-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. Twelve counties in the rural areas of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia are linked to our stroke center by a helicopter air ambulance service. In late 2024 it is anticipated that the stroke program’s mobile stroke treatment unit will be operational.

Thank you for your interest in our fellowship program. If you have any questions, please contact us.
