Adult Neurology Residency Program

This is an advanced program offering three positions in each of the PG-2, 3, and 4 years. Our curriculum is geared toward ever evolving knowledge, various skills, and a high level of professionalism. The program provides well-balanced experiences between inpatient and outpatient, centered around the recommendations by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN).

To gain more in-depth proficiency, subspecialty rotations are included in the curriculum in cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, sleep disorders, neuromuscular medicine, and child neurology. Rigorous educational programs will be offered through bedside teaching by highly qualified faculty members, weekly lecture/seminar/conferences and electronically available educational programs. The school of medicine also has a state-of-the-art clinical simulation center to assist residents and students in obtaining necessary clinical and procedure skills.

Research is another focus of our residency program. There are ample opportunities for residents to participate at the departmental, university, national, and international levels.

Salaries and benefits are competitive. Book and travel funds are also possible. Paid time off is provided for vacation, sick, and administrative leaves.

We are committed to helping you achieve your career goals and look forward to having you here.
