UM/Jackson is home to the second largest neurology residency training programs in the United States, with a total complement of 42 residents approved by the ACGME. The program provides intensive clinical training on the neurology services of two large general hospitals, detailed instruction in basic and related clinical neurosciences, exposure to investigative laboratory science, and a variety of
conferences and specialized neurological clinics. The residency training schedule is designed for flexibility. After the first year of basic clinical neurology training, every effort is made to accommodate the request of each resident for elective rotations that are chosen in concert with individualized career goals. For hands-on experience in clinical or bench research, each resident is assigned to a mentor under whose guidance the residents pursue scholarly research projects during the period of their residency. Substantial elective time is provided in the final years of training. The program emphasizes excellence in clinical neurology and has produced academic neurologists, practitioners of neurology, researchers, and teachers of national and international repute. To apply for the UM Neurology Residency Program please complete an application form (ERAS) and submit the documents requested in the application information.
