While on the neurocritical care and stroke service, fellows take at home night call two weeks and weekends out of the month.  While on the general medicine critical care service, fellows take in-house night float call for four nights of the month as well as two weekend daytime shifts.  All other rotations are call-free.

Fellows have one half day of continuity clinic per week with a neurocritical and stroke faculty member as preceptor.  The purpose of clinic is to follow the long-term outcomes of patients who were initially evaluated by the neurocritical care/stroke service in the hospital as well as assess new stroke patient referrals from the community.
