This year’s Fund-A-Cause will enhance the work of the Neurosciences team. Recruiting, nurturing, and developing talent is critical to our efforts to deliver optimal patient care. Phelps Hospital is a teaching hospital with residency and fellowship programs that support this goal.

Fellowship is advanced graduate medical education beyond a core residency program for physicians who seek to enter a more specialized practice. Fellowship-trained physicians serve the public by providing advanced, subspecialty level care. This may include core medical care, acting as a community resource for expertise in their field, creating and integrating new knowledge into practice and educating future generations of physicians.

Neuroendovascular surgery is a subspecialty that diagnoses and treats diseases of the central nervous system, head, neck, and spine. The unique nature of this subspecialty requires special training and skills. This Fellow will have the opportunity to learn from our world class Neuroendovascular team and train in the new Center for Advanced Procedures featuring the Biplane angiography suite and other cutting-edge equipment and technology.

A neuroendovascular surgery fellow at Phelps Hospital will immediately elevate the platform for education, for institutional recognition, and for scaling the ability of our hospital to provide complex cerebrovascular care for our community.

The healthcare field is vast, rewarding and it’s growing. Fellows strengthen medical practice at the institutions they serve and across healthcare. Your generosity will help launch this program at Phelps Hospital enhancing patient care and strengthening the physician talent pipeline.

“My fellowship provided me with the skills, confidence, and mentorship necessary to practice neuroendovascular surgery at the highest level. Our neurosciences team is excited by, and grateful for, this opportunity to pay this forward to the next generation of cerebrovascular surgeons.”
