University of Minnesota Stroke Research Fellowship

Our team presented their innovative research at the University of Minnesota's Advances in Learning Health System Sciences Conference.

The conference highlighted best practices from learning health systems (LHS), and we were excited to contribute our own advances and learn from experts in the LHS field.

Congratulations to Nitin, Abbey, Dr. Prabjot Nijjar, and Dr. Christopher Streib for being awarded the New Innovation NOTIO grant from the University of Minnesota Medical School!

Their research will explore the role of routine cardiac CT in the evaluation of acute stroke patients.

Congratulations to our Research fellows for successfully matching in Neurology Residency!

Dr. Annam and Dr. Khan will join the University of West Virginia and Tulane University teams, continuing their promising careers as Clinician-Researchers.

Good luck to you both!

The UMN Stroke Research Fellowship was formally founded in 2021.

Through a shared commitment to advancing stroke care, our multicultural research fellowship team pursues the highest standard of neurological treatment and clinical research at the University of Minnesota.

University of Minnesota stroke research fellows are involved in creating and maintaining research databases (local and international), conference presentations, manuscripts, and working groups. Research fellows, with the assistance of a research mentor, lead one or two primary projects intended for publication.

Research fellows are also active participants in our academic conferences and manage our neuroimaging database for the weekly Stroke and Neurocritical Care Neuroradiology Conference.

Stroke research fellows are directly integrated into the daily operations of the Stroke Program.

Daily activities blend clinical research and patient care. Fellows observe rounds, attend stroke codes and interventions, and screen patients for ongoing clinical trials. Research fellows regularly present patients and topical reviews to the clinical team.

Team-oriented individuals who share our deep commitment to the neurosciences may apply to join our research team.

About the Fellowship

The stroke research fellowship is an intentionally enriching environment where research fellows develop fundamental skills in clinical neurology and clinical research. These skills provide a critical platform for future achievements in academic medicine.
