The Duke Center for Cerebrovascular Disease offers research-based Stroke Fellowships designed to provide training for individuals with the potential to become independent investigators focused on cerebrovascular disease. Both clinical and laboratory-based programs are available. The Stroke Fellowship is open to MDs and PhDs who are US citizens or permanent residents.

 

Fellowships are generally awarded for 2 years. The trainees select a project and a faculty mentor and develop a defined, tailored program. Clinical fellows attend courses in Duke Master's in Clinical Research Program which can lead to a degree through the School of Medicine. Fellows also participate in all on-going clinical trials.

 

Ongoing clinical conferences open to research fellows include bimonthly Stroke Conferences, twice-weekly Stroke Rounds at Duke Hospital, a weekly multidisciplinary vascular surgery conference and weekly Stroke Rounds at the adjacent Durham VAMC. In addition, periodic half-day research seminars are held for fellows to present their own work. Numerous additional seminars and conferences are held weekly.
