Neurology Residency Program
We educate future leaders in neurology, preparing them for compassionate and scientifically excellent patient care
Our distinguished program gives residents the opportunity to pursue either a clinically based career, as they develop into master clinicians, or a career in academic research, as clinician-scientists.
​
Our program is categorical. We collaborate with the National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, to foster research and scholarship in the residency program.
​
We also offer thorough clinical training at some of the nation’s finest teaching hospitals, located in the Washington, D.C., region. Training at our hospitals gives residents an opportunity to experience a variety of neurological presentations across a diverse socio-economic background.
​
This unique combination of core rotations in clinical training plus exposure to basic science and clinical research gives our residents unparalleled opportunities to learn neurology across the full spectrum of neurologic subspecialties.
Our residents receive:
-
Inpatient subspecialty training with the stroke service
-
Neurocritical care rotations
-
Subspecialty clinic rotations in movement disorders, headache, neuro-muscular, multiple sclerosis, neuro-ophthalmology, and epilepsy
-
They have opportunities to set up rotations in cognitive disorders, neuro-rehabilitation, neuro-oncology, and sleep and intraoperative monitoring
