Program Director Welcome
Welcome to our exciting Neurocritical Care Fellowship Training Program, one of the newest in the United States. The Neurocritical Care Fellowship at Westchester Medical Center, in affiliation with New York Medical College, is currently accredited by the ACGME and the United Council of Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS).
The Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit at Westchester Medical Center (WMC) in Valhalla, NY, is a 19-bed closed unit equipped with video-EEG and Moberg CNS multimodality monitors in every room. WMC, the flagship of the Westchester Health Network, is the only Level 1 Trauma Center and Comprehensive Stroke Center between New York City and Albany, and draws as the main referral center for 2.8 million people in the Hudson Valley.
Our mission is to create a world renowned Neurocritical Care training program that provides trainees with the knowledge to manage and to study common and rare conditions seen in the Neurocritical Care population. Our goal is to educate and to discover optimal treatments for patients with life threatening nervous system injury. Along the way, trainees will potentially have the opportunity to combine their Neurocritical Care Fellowship training at Westchester Medical Center with additional training in Vascular Neurology (one year) or Neuro-Interventional Surgery (two years). With a dedicated, multidisciplinary core faculty, an advanced Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit, ongoing clinical trials, and the support of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, this is an exciting time of growth and innovation for our program, which I invite you to explore.

Program Overview
Fellows will gain expertise in the management of critically ill patients. In addition to standard critical care resuscitation techniques such as intubation, mechanical ventilation, volume resuscitation, and vasopressor use, the program emphasizes advanced multimodality monitoring, electroencephalography, and Critical Care Neurophysiology.
Our program serves a large and diverse patient population, and we as faculty will provide individualized training and mentorship that is personalized to meet the interests and background of the fellow. A major point of differentiation is our emphasis on clinical research training and methodology. Development of independent research projects is strongly encouraged, and fellows will benefit from close mentoring and exposure to database management, biostatistics, and study design.
