Advanced Second-Year Diagnostic Neuroradiology Fellowship

The Advanced Neuroradiology Fellowship is a one-year, non-ACGME-accredited program for physicians who have completed an ACGME-accredited neuroradiology fellowship, an ACGME-accredited radiology residency and are American Board of Radiology board-certified/eligible.

This fellowship training is based at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the main campus of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

The program is a continuation of training from the applicant’s previous ACGME-accredited first-year neuroradiology fellowship with:

  • More intense focus in advanced functional neuroimaging studies such as fMRI, DTI and perfusion imaging
  • Elective time in a particular focus, subspecialty or discipline as desired and chosen by the fellow
  • Opportunities for research and academic projects targeting publication and/or presentation at national conferences,
  • Junior faculty attending responsibilities

Our mission is to provide a pathway for interested applicants to gain experience in advanced diagnostic neuroradiology techniques and studies and/or to pursue an academic career in a focused area within neuroradiology, which often requires more in-depth training and time for research and publication.
