The Yale Neurosciences Program is an internationally recognized, multidisciplinary program that brings together clinicians and investigators through strong collaborations with Neurocritical Care, Epilepsy, Vascular Neurology, Neurosurgery, Emergency Medicine, and Neuroradiology.

The Neuroscience ICU at Yale New Haven Hospital is a thriving, cutting-edge 19-bed unit poised for further expansion.

We employ the most advanced technologies, including:

  • A nationally recognized continuous ICU EEG program.
  • The first portable MRI system in the world.
  • An active noninvasive and invasive advanced neuromonitoring program.

Our core team is comprised of neuroscience nurses, advanced practice providers, a neuropharmacist, and multidisciplinary trainees at all levels.

In addition, we train six neurocritical care fellows in an ACGME-accredited program, and our team consists of clinical and scientific leaders across a breadth of disciplines relevant to neurocritical care.


Essential Duties

The essential duties of these positions include:

  • Diagnosing and caring for inpatients with neurocritical and neurosurgical issues.
