Neurology residents also gain experience in providing consultations in the emergency room and in the hospital. A senior resident and a faculty member supervise the junior resident on in-patient and consultation services throughtout the year. A continuity clinic is begun in the first year. Additional clinic experiences are added in later years. Second and Third Years Inpatient experience continues in the second and third years, but to a lesser extent than the first year.
More time is spent in a supervisory role, and in more specialized training activities.
With respect to ambulatory care, in addition to general neurology continuity of care clinics, second and third year residents have subspecialty ambulatory care rotations which provide opportunity to participate in the care of unique patient populations. A child neurology rotation also is part of the in-patient experience during the second and third years. During the second and third year, approximately nine months of elective time is available. Working with a faculty advisor, each resident develops an elective program to meet their long-term educational goals. Activities spread across all years Research Activities During their three years, each resident is encouraged to participate in one of the research programs of the department.
