Description: The Department of Neurology at the Wake Forest University School of
Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is recognized for excellence in stroke
and cerebrovascular disease, and neurosonology. Funded as a PGY-5 or PGY-6
position, this Fellowship includes 1-2 years of work emphasizing the clinical
stroke and neurosonology services, as well as participation in a variety of
research projects. During the optional second year, the possibility for elective
rotations in a variety of subjects including Neurorehabilitation, Neurosurgery,
Neuroimaging, PET, or time with Stroke Research Center (Dr. James Toole,
Director), Health Services Research Center (Dr. David Goff, Director), or Public
Health Sciences (Dr. Greg Burke, Chairman).
Research opportunities include acute stroke treatment, stroke prevention,
sports-related concussion, and many other possible projects using carotid
ultrasound and TCD, including monitoring, screening studies, TCCD, and Dynamic
Vascular Analysis for TCD. All Fellows attend the Neurovascular Ultrasound
Courses, will participate in the Dynamic Vascular Analysis Reading Center, and
will meet eligibility criteria for the Neurosonology Certification Examination
of the American Society of Neuroimaging. Fellows interact with the
Multi-Disciplinary Stroke Team and Stroke Service, with dedicated Stroke faculty
(Drs. Reynolds, Lefkowitz, Bettermann, Kim, and Tegeler). The current salary for
this position is about $45,000. This fellowship is not currently approved by the
ACGME, so would not fulfill eligibility criteria to sit for the new Vascular
Neurology Subspecialty Board examination of the America Board of Medical
Specialties. Because this is a clinical position, requiring an institutional
training license, candidates must have an ECFMG Certificate, or have fulfilled
all requirements for the USMLE.
