Over 100 children and adolescents with neurologic disorders are admitted to the Child Neurology Service each year. Patients are admitted to the pediatric ward and, although primarily cared for by the Pediatric Medicine service, remain under the direct supervision of Child Neurology. Clinical research teaching conferences, including Journal Club, Pediatric Neuroradiology, and Pediatric Neurology Clinic Conference, are held weekly. Neuropathology includes brain cutting, slide review, and preparing a Clinical Pathological Conference to present to the Department. Residents also go to Muscle Biopsy Conferences and present a paper at journal club.
Residents also have four months of electives.
These have been spent in various ways. Residents can use this time any way they want - as long as it has something to do with neurology. Some residents have chosen to do away electives either in community settings or at other institutions. All Rights Reserved.
