Neurology Residency Program

Mission Statement

At HCA Healthcare we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. In support of this mission, HCA Healthcare/TriStar Nashville/Skyline Medical Center Neurology Residency Program strives for excellence while maintaining an environment of mutual respect and inclusion.

The HCA Healthcare/TriStar Nashville/Skyline Medical Center Neurology Residency Program trains and equips motivated residents in neurology to be highly competent, compassionate, professional, accessible, and productive clinicians, teachers, and leaders for HCA Healthcare facilities and other premier venues of clinical and academic neurology.

The vision for the HCA Healthcare/TriStar Nashville/Skyline Medical Center Neurology Residency Program is that of an acclaimed and diverse community of clinician-educators and physician scientists committed to high-quality, evidence-based patient care, innovative clinical research, and exceptional training experiences for students, residents, and fellows in neurology.

Program Overview

Our 3-year categorical program will train a diverse group of residents in all facets of clinical neurology, preparing them for postgraduate subspecialty fellowships or careers in general neurology. Residents will assume graded responsibility for patient care, with supervision and instruction appropriate to their level of experience and monitored progress toward independence.

Inpatient services will emphasize complex stroke care, epilepsy, neuromuscular crises, and trauma, with additional experience in neurocritical care, neurorehabilitation, psychiatry, neuroradiology, clinical neurophysiology, and child neurology. Consultation experience will address neurologic complications across a broad array of medical disease states, and outpatient clinics will include both general neurology and subspecialty care. Most clinical experiences will take place on the campuses of TriStar Skyline and TriStar Centennial Medical Centers. Altogether, our teaching hospitals have approximately 1500 beds. Simulation training, community hospital experience, teleneurology, problem-based learning exercises, and numerous elective rotations are also provided.

TriStar training facilities include a Joint Commission certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, two additional Thrombectomy-Capable Centers, Level 2 Trauma Center, CARF-accredited rehabilitation center, two dedicated Neurovascular Intensive Care Units, inpatient psychiatric hospital, children’s hospital, and the nationally renowned Sarah Cannon Cancer Research Institute.

HCA Healthcare/TriStar Nashville is a GME consortium offering postgraduate residency training in a dynamic urban/suburban setting with close proximity to leading universities, medical schools, business centers, entertainment venues, professional athletic teams, houses of worship, family amenities, and the natural beauty of Tennessee. Residents completing our program will have a solid foundation in clinical neurology, as well as experience in clinical research and teaching. With an emphasis on developing expertise in the core disciplines and methodologies of neurology, our residents will also experience innovative, high-performance practice while cultivating professionalism, ethical reasoning, leadership, and health equity awareness.
