Welcome future neurologists! Let us introduce you to our four-year Adult Neurology Residency Program. We offer high quality residency training in four different hospitals including two comprehensive care referral centers for neurological and neurosurgical disorders and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, a highly respected Centers of Excellence in trauma, and a veterans affair hospital. Moreover, we have rotations in subspeciality hospitals including St Jude, Semmes Murphy Clinic, and Le Bonheur Children’s hospital.
We are big fans of core didactic activities. We have weekly protected teaching time every Thursday (academic half-day); morning report, Neuro-ophthalmology course and neurology grand rounds every Friday; and neuroradiology rounds every Wednesday. Furthermore, our residents develop their educators' skills by participating in resident as educator module, the Neuroscience course for second year medical students, Neurology Clerkship introduction workshop for third year medical student and the Mentorship Program with the SIGN (Students Interested Group in Neurology) group.
Our team is supported and mentored by full-time, enthusiastic, and professional faculty with expertise in different subspecialties of neurology. A warm and friendly atmosphere among the faculty, residents, fellows, and hospital staff makes the challenging years of residency easier to navigate. Moreover, our faculty participates in mentorship that aims to guide and help residents to achieve their professional goals through residency.
To help the new PGY2 to smoothly transition to Neurology, our program offers a two-weeks neuroscience bootcamp, and buddy calls to shadow PGY3 and PGY4 and learn the dynamics of the rotations. The bootcamp includes sessions in the Center of Healthcare Improvement and Patient Simulation to train them in performing procedures, managing the most common neurology emergencies and to develop interprofessional education.
Finally, among other strengths, our program actively participates in multicenter clinical trials in Neurology, and our Comprehensive Stroke and Trauma Centers offers interdisciplinary and inter-specialty working teams in the inpatient setting.
