FAQs
Since our program is brand new, your involvement will not only provide you with a top-notch training experience but will allow you the opportunity to shape the future of the program. Our academics and administrative staff are very approachable, receptive to feedback and adaptable to make the necessary adjustments to promote the best learning environment and a great training experience.
We do accept IMGs. The deadline for the application is December 1st and CS results must be received by February 1st to be ranked.
Some form of scholarly activity; research, QI or a case report is required for graduation. We have a dedicated faculty member who serves as our Division Research Director and a Research Coordinator. Their roles are to help develop research projects that align with each resident's particular areas of interest. In addition, residents are required to participate in a QI project during their training. Core clinical faculty members are always on the lookout for patients who would be good candidates for a case report or abstract submission.
All communication will be sent via email through Thalamus. Every application is individually reviewed, so it is unnecessary to contact the Neurology Program Administrator for application updates. Due to the high volume of inquiries, voicemails and emails will be returned as time permits.
