Residency Program

Our Mission

The Department of Neurology Residency Training Program emphasizes teamwork, close interaction with attending physicians, resident colleagues, nursing and health care colleagues, assumption of independence, and development of sophisticated skills in history taking and neurological examination. Thorough exposure is provided to the full range of diagnostic and treatment options for patients with neurological disorders. The program seeks to develop and nurture life-long curiosity about the workings of the nervous system in health and disease, critical reasoning skills for consideration of clinical problems and evaluation of scientific literature, and skills in verbal and written communication to facilitate understanding of neurological disorders and their treatments for patients and society.

This Mission will be achieved by the following service and educational goals:

Faculty and residents will strive to provide the highest quality of care to every patient. "The patient comes first". Our primary service responsibility and goal is to provide competent and compassionate patient care delivered with the highest standards of professionalism, as we would wish for ourselves and our families.

The primary educational goal of the residency program is the development of each resident into a competent Board-certified neurologist with skills and expertise in neurological history, neurological examination, and ability to proceed thoughtfully through diagnosis and management of patients based on clinical history, examination findings, and laboratory testing.

Faculty and residents will strive in their service and care of each patient to make every case a learning experience, and will specifically devote efforts to differential diagnosis in every case prior to consideration of imaging and electrodiagnostic studies.
