Throughout the residency, residents are required to attend a weekly continuity clinic. We offer outpatient clinic experiences in Clinical Neurophysiology, Epilepsy, Neuromuscular, Movement, Multiple Sclerosis and Neuro-Immunology, Neuropathology, Memory, Headache, Neuro-Oncology, Sleep, and Neuro-ophthalmology. We ensure that all our residents have exposure to each of the outpatient specialty clinics, and we sequence these experiences in accordance with the individual interest of each resident. We emphasize early exposure to the multiple subspecialties of neurology.
Night float runs from 7PM-7AM Sunday thru Friday. Weekends are covered in 12 hour blocks. PGY-2's & PGY-3's share this responsibility.
