Special Features & Unique Opportunities
We take pride in being a University based, medium sized neurology residency program with a strong emphasis on resident education. Our residents work directly with attendings in multiple subspecialties. We also take steps to emphasize early outpatient experience during the PGY2 year to better facilitate fellowship decision-making for our graduates. Our graduates are ready for independent practice on day one after graduation with significant contact hours offered for mastery of EMG and EEG.
