About This Program
The Child Neurology Residency Program allows increasing patient-care responsibility across their training. During their first year with neurology, emphasis is on the foundations of clinical neurology, primarily bedside anatomic localization and clinical diagnosis. The modern clinical neuroscientist must be well-versed in the most up-to-date technical neurodiagnostic procedures, and all trainees will gain expertise through daily conferences and mandatory clinical rotations.
