Neurocritical Care Fellowship Program
Welcome Letter
On behalf of the entire UTHealth Houston division of Neurocritical Care, I would like to welcome you to the UTHealth Houston Neurocritical Care Fellowship training program. We are honored to catch your interest in one of the top training programs in the nation. Our nationally and internationally recognized fellowship training program is dual accredited by the Accredited Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the United Council of Neurological Subspecialties (UCNS). Since the inception of our program in 2011, we have continuously trained fellows from multiple backgrounds (Neurology, Anesthesia, Internal Medicine, Critical Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine), many of which have taken on leadership positions throughout the country.
Our continuously expanding division, with its 13 diverse faculty, advanced practice providers, dedicated neurocritical care pharmacists, neuroscience nurses, respiratory therapists, dietitians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, along with our research team, provide a unique and robust environment where our fellows can grow clinically and feel supported in their research pursuits.
The main focus of our fellowship program is to facilitate all the tools and knowledge necessary for our graduates to become highly capable and skilled intensivists who are passionate about the care of critically-ill neurological and neurosurgical patients while maintaining a culture of open communication and collegiality. Our goal is to transform you into a future leader in our growing field.
Over the past 2 years, our fellowship has a renovated schedule of structured didactics including monthly Journal Clubs and M&Ms, weekly didactics featuring invited guest speakers, every other month critical care board review, weekly research update meeting and monthly quality meetings, among others.
We look forward to being a fundamental part in your evolution and development as a Neurointensivist. We welcome you with open arms.
Sincerely,
Luis F. Torres, M.D.
