Training
Preparatory requirements for a fellowship in INR/NIS include successful completion of a residency in Radiology, Neurosurgery, or Neurology and additional training depending on the given field. Neurologists must complete additional fellowship training in neurovascular diseases/vascular neurology, stroke neurology, or neurocritical care as well as gain experience in neuroangiography in order to qualify to train in a Neurointerventional fellowship. Radiologists usually complete a fellowship in diagnostic neuroradiology prior to a Neurointerventional fellowship. Neurosurgeons must gain experience in neuroangiography prior to a Neurointerventional fellowship.
Neurointerventional fellowships are variable in length, but last from 1-3 years with a focus on the integration of clinical management and performance of endovascular surgeries of the conditions/diseases listed below. Many fellowships require a second year of training which allows participants to further hone their technical skills and assert a greater degree of influence in clinical management of patients with diseases of interest.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.”

“At present I feel like a caged animal, bound up by the luxury, comfort and respectability of my position. I can’t get the training that I want without neglecting my duty.”

“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
