The Pediatric Neurology Fellowship, directed by Dr. Romaine Schubert, is a fully accredited three-year program providing comprehensive training in the full spectrum of pediatric neurologic disorders in varied settings. On completion of residency, they are eligible for certification by the ABPN in Neurology with special competence in Pediatric Neurology. Pediatric neurology fellows spend 12 months on adult neurology, and the rest of their time on pediatric neurology rotations and electives. The adult neurology ward and consultation exposure provides a strong foundation in basic localization and neuroanatomy.
Fellows also participate in academic activities with adult neurology.
There is ample elective time during the fellowship for standard electives in neuropathology, neurophysiology, neuroradiology, and rehabilitation, and residents may design electives around individual neurologic interests. The pediatric neurology schedule comprises inpatient and outpatient rotations. The wide spectrum of neurologic illness seen at Kings County and University Hospital, combined with intensive hands-on teaching, provides a unique opportunity for training in pediatric neurology. Daily rounds include morning report, attending teaching rounds, and sign-out rounds. Outpatient Experience Fellows maintain a continuity clinic throughout their tenure, providing the opportunity to follow the course of neurologic diseases as patients grow and develop.
