  The UNC Hospitals Stroke Program offers a one year, ACGME-accredited fellowship with emphasis on acute stroke treatment and diagnosis/prevention of stroke and TIA. Fellows will divide their clinical time between our Stroke Treatment and Prevention Unit, the Neurovascular Laboratory, and the Stroke Clinic. Clinical research experience will include participation in a variety of acute stroke trials and stroke prevention trials.

  The UNC Hospitals are located in the “Buckle of the Stroke Belt,” and we see over 550 stroke/TIA patients annually. The Stroke Program includes 3 stroke faculty members, a stroke nurse coordinator, an acute stroke team, a 6-bed stroke unit, a stroke clinic, and a stroke registry database. There are currently active collaborations with the Departments of Emergency Medicine, Interventional Neuroradiology, Neurosurgery, and Cardiology, as well as with the UNC School of Public Health. State-of-the-art vascular neuroimaging is available including 3.0 and 1.5 T MRI systems capable of DWI/PWI and 16-detector spiral CT scanners with CT angiography and CT perfusion imaging capabilities.

  Applicants must complete a neurology residency and be board eligible or board certified in neurology prior to the start of the fellowship.

  Applications can be made by sending a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendation to Dr. Souvik Sen.

  UNC is an EO/AA employer.
