One of the main missions of the Stroke Institute is to expand training opportunities in stroke and cerebrovascular diseases across the various schools of UTHealth. Initially, we started our educational programs in 1979 by growing the largest stroke fellowship training program in the US for neurologists to specialize in stroke and cerebrovascular disease. We offer both 1 and 2 year fellowship tracks for neurologists. The two year training program has been supported by an NIH T32 grant since 1998. However, the Institute expanded its training opportunities to nursing students, medical students, and post-doctoral PhD fellows. We also have developed new training programs in stroke prevention and population health. The Institute strives to provide students and fellows with an atmosphere of growth and mentorship throughout their careers in cerebrovascular disease. These educational opportunities include the following:
Anjail Sharrief, MD

Director of Stroke Prevention, Institute for Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Amanda Jagolino, MD
