RESIDENCY PROGRAM
Years in Residency |
The Neurology Residency Program is a fully accredited three-year program of training that is completely integrated among the affiliated hospitals. The program is designed to:
• Train physicians to become proficient clinical neurologists by providing
three years of progressive experience and responsibility in the diagnosis
and management of both adult and pediatric patients with neurologic
conditions.
|
• Provide exposure to a number of ancillary disciplines including, but not
limited to, neuropathology, electroencephalography, electromyography,
neuroradiology, neuro-ophthalmology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and
rehabilitation medicine.
• Provide a broad educational experience in the basic neurosciences to
form the foundation for understanding and applying the principles of
clinical neurology. |
The transfer of patient information during morning rounds is an integral component to resident training and ensures continuity of patient care. |
BEYOND RESIDENCY
Most residents graduating from the University
of Washington Neurology programs obtain fellowships for further training.
Support for fellowship training in EEG and neurophysiology, movement disorders,
neuropathology, sleep medicine, vascular neurology (stroke) and headache is
available at the University of Washington through training grants and other funds.
The majority of graduates pursue academic careers that variably combine patient
care, research and teaching.
Individual fellowship training can be arranged by working with a chosen mentor
and applying to the NIH or other funding sources for financial support.
