The mission of the Neurocritical Care Fellowship at the University of South Florida is to prepare our physician for the independent practice of Neurocritical Care. To this end, the overarching goal of this fellowship is to provide the trainee with comprehensive, organized, immersive, and well-supervised training in Neurocritical Care in an environment that encourages and supports research and innovation such that he or she might confidently and competently practice independently as an academic neurointensivist providing specialized treatment and patient care.

Tampa General Hospital (TGH) is a quaternary referral center with a 32-bed Neuroscience ICU that treats a wide range of neurologically compromised patients, such as head trauma, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke, vascular malformations, CNS infections, tumors, spinal cord injuries and seizure disorders. The TGH Neuroscience ICU is the largest on the West Coast of Florida and is staffed 24/7 by a dedicated Neuro-ICU provider team.
