Carolinas Rehabilitation (CR) is offering a 1 or 2-year fellowship in Brain Injury Rehabilitation for a board eligible/board certified physiatrist interested in developing further expertise in clinical management and research pursuits within this subspecialty. CR is a 133-bed CARF-accredited rehabilitation hospital with 30 beds dedicated to brain injury. This fellowship allows for flexibility between clinical and research time and will be specifically designed to meet the candidate's interest. Clinical opportunities include inpatient and outpatient management of TBI patients with a focus on treatment of active medical problems, neuropharmacolgical trials, neuropsychological evaluations and procedural management of spasticity. The clinical experience also provides time for learning opportunities with neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons and trauma surgeons located at Carolinas Medical Center (CMC), a Level I Trauma Center, adjacent to CR. From a research perspective, CR is a member of the NIDRR-funded TBI Model System Project. This project provides opportunities to participate in ongoing and future studies focused on TBI issues. Brain injury research at CR also includes opportunities to participate in clinical trials initiated at either CR or CMC. Interested candidates must have excellent clinical and academic credentials and be very motivated to be challenged in a dynamic clinical and research environment.
