The Cerebrovascular Surgery Fellowship at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago is an advanced post-residency program designed for trained neurosurgeons to develop specialized expertise in managing complex cerebrovascular conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and stroke-related disorders, with strong emphasis on microsurgical techniques, multidisciplinary care, and research; the duration is typically about 1 year (may extend to 1–2 years depending on training track and experience), consistent with similar neurosurgical fellowships at UIC and other institutions
