Details.
Pre-residency fellows are integral members of the neurosurgical neurocritical care teams. Duties include managing floor and ICU patients, night call, and assisting in the operating room and outpatient clinic, providing broad clinical exposure in the neurosciences. Fellows work alongside neurosurgeons, neuro intensive care neurologists, and neurosurgical and neurology residents at Boston Medical Center and nearby St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center. The program includes weekly didactic sessions, and opportunities exist for clinical or basic research. Accepted candidates must commit to a minimum of two years. Pay, benefits, hours, days off, and vacation time equal those of PGY1 in other accredited programs at BU/BMC.
