To achieve this goal, we offer comprehensive and intense clinical exposure
to pediatric and adult patients and the opportunity to pursue elective
experience in clinical and research areas. The program includes a wife
variety of patients, a broad exposure to expertise in clinical subspecialties
and graded responsibility. All Neurology trainees, both adult and pediatric,
are encouraged to pose questions and to seek solutions to the unknown
aspects of disease. The teaching of medical students and colleagues
is an important part of the residents' daily activities during all three
years of the program.
Our Neurology Department offers a wide variety of research programs
in subspecialty areas; these provide the trainee with opportunities
for elective during their residency years and for postdoctoral training.
The faculty strive to produce an accomplished clinician, an outstanding
teacher and an individual trained to ask and answer scientifically important
questions. Although this sounds like a high order, the current positions
of our graduates show that it can be attained. Many ex-residents from
our Pediatric Neurology training program are heads of divisions or departments,
leaders in their field and funded investigators. We in the Department
of Neurology are proud of all our residents. The faculty works hard
to encourage their career development and we regard our trainees among
our most important contributions to the clinical neurosciences.
Sincerely,
Harvey Singer, M.D.
Director, Pediatric Neurology Residency Program
