About The Position

The Dartmouth Health Neurology Postgraduate Fellowship is an intensive 12-month training program designed to prepare Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Fellows for careers in neurology or neurocritical care. Fellows work alongside APPs and attending physicians in structured, competency-based clinical and didactic training, with progressive independence tailored to their development. Training takes place at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, a quaternary care facility and Level I trauma center.

The program develops fellows’ ability to integrate neuroanatomy and pathophysiology with advanced diagnostic results and neurologic examination findings to diagnose and localize complex neurologic disorders. It also builds a foundation in caring for outpatient, hospital-based, and critically ill neurology patients, and in working independently and collaboratively in a dynamic field. The goal is to develop the acute and long-range medical and critical-thinking skills needed for a career in neurology or neurocritical care.

Applicants must submit an up-to-date CV or resume with school name, GPA, and dates for all work and education entries in MM/YY format; a 500–1,000-word personal statement about their interest in a neurology career; and two letters of reference on letterhead. Letters may be addressed to the Neurology Team. Applicants currently enrolled in a PA or NP program must provide one reference from their Program or Medical Director.
