In addition, the Department of Neurology maintains its own library with subscriptions to all major English language neurology journals. The program has twelve resident positions. Four new residents are appointed each year, three in general neurology and one in child neurology. All general neurology applicants must either have completed all requirements for residency or anticipate completing them prior to starting residency at the PGY-2 level. Residents rotate through the various subspecialty outpatient clinics where they work closely with the subspecialty faculty.
Residents maintain a continuity clinic composed of general neurology outpatients.
Each resident has a continuity clinic at the NVAH which continues throughout the residency. First year residents are usually on-call every fourth night and cover neurology inpatients and consultations, generally with a rotating psychiatry or medical resident, and a 2nd or 3rd year neurology resident on second call. Second and third year residents take second call from home, usually every eighth night, except for the resident assigned to inpatient pediatric neurology who is on call from home every other weekday night and shares second call with the other senior residents. During elective period there is a required outpatient experience. Third year residents are on the same call schedule as second year residents.
