Our residency program is designed to provide comprehensive exposure to core neurological diseases through various rotations and continuous clinical practice. Over the three years, residents participate in multiple hospital and ambulatory rotations and a weekly continuity clinic, which ensures consistent hands-on experience and patient interaction.
In their PGY-1 year, our residents receive comprehensive internal medicine training under the guidance of the outstanding Department of Internal Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. This foundational year ensures that residents develop strong clinical skills and a broad understanding of internal medicine, which is essential for their subsequent training in neurology. In addition, our PGY-1 residents have 6 weeks of dedicated clinical exposure to multiple subspecialties across inpatient and outpatient neurology.
In addition to our core hospital-based rotations, we work hard to introduce PGY-2 residents to the breadth of neurology through multispecialty rotations and scheduled rotations in multiple ambulatory specialties. This early and diverse exposure helps residents build a strong foundation in neurology from the start and feel well-prepared for fellowship and career decisions.
Residents continue to benefit from a diverse array of neurologic subspecialties throughout their training and have the opportunity to explore a variety of electives as they advance to more senior years. This allows for personalized learning and the development of specialized skills.
As residents progress to the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years, they assume graduated responsibilities, taking on roles such as Ward and Stroke Senior Resident. This progressive increase in responsibility prepares our residents to become confident and capable leaders in neurology.
