Best Neurotrauma/NCC fellowships?
#1
Although neurotrauma/neurocriticalcare is a substantial part of most neurosurgery practices, it is a fairly new sub-specialization. What are the best fellowships available across the country?

None. It’s a waste of time, and a loss of a year’s attending salary, to do a fellowship in Neurocritical care. Every graduating neurosurgery resident is capable of that kind of management

Also be careful with these “Neurotrauma/Critical Care” fellowships. If you want to learn trauma neurosurgery, make sure you don’t sign up to be a glorified rounding monkey. Unless you actually care to be an ICU physician, which as the above said, we all have the experience. Only exception I can think of is programs with closed units and heavy APP support.

Does a 1 week on, 1 week off type practice exist in neurotrauma with an attending just taking call every other week and reducing the call burden on the other attendings? What does a neurotrauma elective practice look like? Spine? Sports medicinw?

Yes, that's why I asked. Rather than berate, try and provide some useful insight. Thank you

Miami is probably the only one worth mentioning for trauma. UW is also strong. I’d assume if you train at a place like Pitt or Miami you probably don’t need an additional Neurotrauma fellowship.

You would have to be incredibly stupid and or a bad surgeon to do a neurotrauma fellowship. If you don’t get enough trauma as a junior resident no amount of training will be enough. Good grief. Be satisfied and secure with graduating neurosurgery. No need for a neurotrauma fellowship.

graduates trained in places that focus on elective surgeries might benefit if they want to practice in the ghetto.
