Neuroendovascular Intervention Fellowship
About
Welcome to the Neuroendovascular Intervention Fellowship at St. Luke’s University Health Network. This fellowship is designed for physicians who want advanced, high-volume, mentored training in the diagnosis and endovascular treatment of complex cerebrovascular disease.
Program
Our ACGME approved fellowship provides immersive training in the full spectrum of neuroendovascular care, including acute ischemic stroke intervention, intracranial aneurysm treatment, arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, extracranial and intracranial occlusive disease, and other vascular pathology of the brain, head, neck, and spine. Additionally, a considerable amount of time is devoted to interventional spine training.
The educational experience is built around progressive responsibility, close faculty mentorship, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a strong commitment to patient safety, technical excellence, clinical judgment, and professional development.
Fellows train in a comprehensive stroke center alongside specialists in vascular neurology, cerebrovascular neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurocritical care, emergency medicine, anesthesia, and rehabilitation. This team-based structure helps fellows develop both procedural expertise and the broader clinical perspective needed to lead complex neurovascular care.
Why Train Here
- Hands-on experience in diagnostic angiography and therapeutic neuroendovascular procedures under direct faculty supervision.
- Extensive training in Interventional Spine and Pain Management.
- Exposure to the continuum of neurovascular care, from emergency triage and procedure planning to ICU management, inpatient care, clinic follow-up, and longitudinal outcomes.
- Opportunities in clinical research, innovation, quality improvement, and education.
- A training culture that emphasizes technical mastery, professionalism, communication, and independent judgment
Who Should Apply
