Consciousness Prognostication and Recovery Fellowship
The Consciousness Prognostication and Recovery Fellowship (RECOVER Fellowship) is designed to provide advanced post-residency training to physicians interested in making this field a focus of their clinical career. The fellowship is a 1-year training program that offers specialized education in consciousness detection, prognostication, and recovery in patients with disorders of consciousness resulting from acute brain injury. We aim to support fellows in becoming future leaders in the field of Consciousness Prognostication and Recovery, by promoting academic endeavors in research, clinical innovation, and/or education.
The fellowship includes dedicated education on:
- The neurophysiology of arousal, consciousness, and disorders of consciousness
- Current literature and guidelines pertaining to disorders of consciousness and neuroprognostication
- Cutting-edge methods of consciousness detection and prognostication
- Interventions to promote consciousness recovery
- Coordinating interdisciplinary care
- The spectrum and timeline of neurologic recovery
- Counseling patient families/surrogates about prognostication
- Managing long-term sequelae of acute brain injury
The RECOVER Fellowship meets its objectives through a combination of clinical care (including neurocritical care, palliative care, and physiatry, across the acute, post-acute, and chronic phases of care), didactics, research and educational opportunities.
