	Neuroradiology Fellowship
	Neuroradiology Section
	Neuroradiology is staffed by five full-time faculty and four fellows. Broad based curriculum training is offered, including neurointerventional procedures. A diverse patient population is supported by active neurological and neurosurgical teams, with a wide range of pathology seen. Neuroscience interdisciplinary and section conferences are routinely held. The fellowship provides a competitive salary and educational benefits package with generous vacation and meeting time. Standard comprehensive health insurance plans and other general amenities are provided by the UAB Hospital Foundation. The fellowship is supported by an outstanding general diagnostic radiology residency program with daily didactic conferences. Fellows are put on the call schedule after one month into the program and usually take call one out of every four weeks.	Each fellow prepares a teaching conference for the residents several times a year. Fellows are also expected to become involved in projects during their fellowship. It is expected that these projects lead to scientific articles and presentations at scientific meetings. To help develop the academic skills necessary to produce such projects, close supervision is provided in the development phase of projects as well as the writing and presentation of the completed work. Research is mostly clinical in nature rather than in the basic science area. However, extensive resources are available for a broad variety of research according to the interests of the fellow. In addition to our experienced clinical faculty, we have a large physics group with varied interests and experience. Extensive computer and statistical resources are also available.
