Vascular Fellowship

Director

David Tirschwell, M.D.

The Vascular Neurology (Stroke) Residency (Fellowship) is ACGME approved. There is one position each year, for one year of clinical training based at Harborview Medical Center, a Joint Commission certified Primary Stroke Center caring for approximately 800 ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients each year. In addition to the intensive vascular neurology training offered, there are rotations in neuroradiology, neurosonology and neuro-critical-care. Call is taken with the acute stroke interventional team and there are opportunities to participate in clinical research projects. At the end of one year of training, the trainee will be eligible to sit for the Vascular Neurology subspecialty board certification examination. Those trainees interested in research or an academic career will be encouraged to apply for research funding or for one of the positions in the Department's Research Training in Neurology (NIH funded T32) program for additional research training.
