How to Apply to the Residency Program
The residency training program in Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University,
a fully accredited three-year training program, is designed to provide
comprehensive training in all contemporary aspects of clinical neurology.
Completion of an ACGME-approved post graduate year in medicine or
a transitional year is a prerequisite for entering the Neurology residency.
Progressive increase in patient care and teaching responsibilities
are inherent in the program.
In addition to general adult clinical neurology, areas covered
during training include child neurology, EEG and evoked,
neuromuscular disorders and EMG, neuroradiology, neuro-ophthalmology
and neuropathology, among others. Intensive exposure to the
basic neurosciences is provided.
Residents are encouraged to participate in departmental
research activities in cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy,
headache, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, dementia and peripheral
nerve disease. Residents also play an important role in medical
student education.
