The Child Neurology Residency currently offers two five-year categorical (PGY-1) child neurology positions per year. The program coordinates the selection process with the Department of Pediatrics, so the general pediatrics and the child neurology training are integrated with only one application required.
Child Neurology Training
Two years of training in the Pediatrics Residency is followed by three years of training in neurology: one year focused on adults and two years in child neurology.
Requirements
- All applicants must register with the National Resident Matching Program.
- At least three letters of recommendation should come from individuals who can attest to the applicant’s capabilities, personality and skills. A department chair’s letter is not required.
- Personal statements are required.
- Applicants only need to submit one application to the Child Neurology Residency. A separate application to the pediatrics program is not needed.
Interview Process
All applications are reviewed, but positions will not be offered outside the NRMP match. If an applicant is selected for an interview or if the program needs additional information or documentation, the applicant will be contacted via email. Please do not call to inquire about the status of your application. Except under special circumstances, interviews are typically offered between November 1 through January 10.
The interview process is virtual. Applicants will meet with key faculty members in pediatrics and neurology and have an opportunity to meet with the program’s residents.
