The MCG Department of Neurology pays for annual written in-service examinations and mock oral boards. Residents are encouraged to attend national and regional neurology meetings and each resident has a discretionary fund to pay for attendance. Funds are available to pay for residents' presentations at these meetings. Residents help teach neuroanatomy to medical students and participate in teaching junior and senior elective students. They are encouraged to pursue basic and clinical science research interests.
Residents work with faculty on yearly evaluations of the training program.
The MCG Department of Neurology participates in the Neurology Matching Program sponsored by the Association of University Professors of Neurology. Final application processing requires submitting matching numbers from the program. The standard entry pathway for the child neurology residency training program is two years of general pediatric training. Individuals from other pathways, such as one year of pediatric training with additional postgraduate education in the neurosciences, will be considered when the training is consistent with board requirements. The first year of the three-year program is primarily devoted to completing the requirement of one year of adult neurology training.
