Child Neurology Residency
We offer a combined 5-year ACGME accredited child neurology residency training, under the Department of Pediatrics. The first two years of clinical training are housed within the pediatric residency, followed by three years within child neurology. The curriculum is in accordance with ACGME requirements for child neurology residency and will allow graduates to be eligible for board certification with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) in Neurology with Special Qualifications in Child Neurology, and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) in Pediatrics.
