ӰԺ Child Neurology Residency Program

Welcome...

Thank you for your interest in our five-year Child Neurology training program. Our program includes a common clinical pathway of two years of pediatric training followed by three years of child neurology training. For qualified applicants, we also have an option to pursue the dual certification pathway that results in Board eligibility in both Pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) and Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Our applicants apply via a single categorical program pathway. We have 2 open positions for candidates who have met the appropriate criteria.

After reviewing our page, please take the time to learn more about both the pediatric component and the neurology component of the program.
