The fellowship will provide an additional year of training to develop skills necessary for the management of acquired brain injury throughout the continuum of care.  In addition to extensive experience on the inpatient Brain Injury unit and outpatient clinics at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital, the fellow has the opportunity to work closely with the neuropsychology staff and its postdoctoral candidates.  Research is required during both the one-year clinical and the two-year clinical-research tracks.
