 Hi, I'm Mike Phipps. I am the associate program director of the Vascular Neurology Fellowship and the director of the Brain Tax Center at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. And what I want to talk to you about is how amazing our stroke program here is at University of Maryland. We are one of the busiest and largest volume centers in the state with the highest volume of thrombectomies in the state. And we have an extraordinary group of stroke neurologists that care for patients. And our stroke fellows are an integral part of our system of care that we have here. We have an excellent system of referrals where we get referrals from all over the state. And we have access to an image exchange where we can see all of the images from those places. And at most of the places in our system and at other hospitals we're actually able to access rapid images which can help us with patients that are outside of the early phase and can get thrombectomy at the later stages. We also have joint conferences where we work with our neuro-CCU and our neuro-interventional colleagues. And we review cases and there's excellent learning where we get from all of our stroke neurologists as well as the critical care physicians and the neuro-IR to really take the best care of patients. That also allows for a lot of collaboration in research and helps us to make sure that we're giving the highest level of care by reviewing journal articles for the latest and greatest treatment in acute strokes. So we have an extraordinary program that has a lot of opportunities for learning, for really seeing the bread and butter, the really straightforward patients to the most complex tertiary referrals here at the University of Maryland. And we really hope you'll join us. Hi, I'm Carolyn Cronin, the Program Director for the Vascular Neurology Fellowship Program here at University of Maryland. We have an excellent program for training in vascular neurology with nine faculty trained in vascular neurology who work closely together with our two fellows to take care of our stroke patients. The fellows have the opportunity to rotate both on the inpatient stroke service at University of Maryland Hospital and also have outpatient clinic where we get referred a lot of interesting and complicated vascular neurology cases from outside hospitals. We also have a clinic and see patients at the VA Medical Center, which is directly across the street. And the residents also get to experience the rehab hospital, which is just a couple of miles down the road. So lots of different venues to view sort of the whole breadth of stroke care from beginning to end and recovery and follow up. Our fellows also get training in cerebrovascular ultrasound and get very proficient in that by the end of fellowship. We have multiple different tracks and our goal is to train fellows so that they can go on into any type of career in vascular neurology that they want to afterwards. There's lots of different options these days from from hospitalists to private practice to, you know, private community hospital or academic centers and also neuro IR or interventional neurology is a rising field. We have a great relationship with our neuro radiology colleagues here and have a training path available for fellows who are interested in that career. So there's lots of different opportunities here, lots of exciting patients to see and to learn from for vascular neurology.
