This fellowship is a one-year subspecialty training program with a focus on traumatic brain injury and other sports-related neurological injuries. The cornerstone of clinical and research training is geared towards sports-related concussion though also includes extensive training in the diagnosis and management of traumatic brain injury of all severities and causes.

Fellows will also be expected to develop and/or participate in at least one research project during their training.
