UC Davis Neurology Residency and Fellowship Programs The resident training program is a three-year program with five positions available each year.

The goal of the Neurology Residency Training Program at UC Davis is to prepare residents for the independent practice of clinical neurology. The program provides broad exposure to patient care across the age spectrum in a variety of in-patient and out-patient settings. Graduates are well-prepared to enter clinical practice, or to continue training in a subspecialty or neuroscience fellowships. The

UC Davis Department of Neurology is a national leader in providing clinical care and conducting research in neurological disorders, particularly in epilepsy, dementia, neuro-immunology, neuromuscular diseases, movement disorders, and stroke. Two positions are Categorical; the trainees will enter at the PGY-1 level, complete an internship with the Department of Internal Medicine, and transition to the Neurology department as a PGY-2. Three positions are Advanced, with residents entering at the PGY-2 level after completion of a preliminary internal medicine year elsewhere. Neurology residents’ responsibilities are graduated commensurate with the level of training. Neurology residents at UC Davis actively participate in patient care, teaching, and research activities. The program’s schedule includes 18 months of clinical adult Neurology, six months of outpatient Neurology, three months of Child Neurology, and one month of Psychiatry, with the balance as elective time. The program strongly promotes electives in EEG and electromyography. In addition, each resident is encouraged to spend time in one or more focused projects under the guidance of a faculty mentor. This program structure allows residents flexibility in designing the curriculum to enrich their training with clinical or basic science research, teaching, or focused training in a neurology subspecialty. The UC Davis Neurology department also offers an ACGME-approved Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship training program, non-ACGME fellowships in Movement Disorders and Clinical Neuropsychology, and a UCNS-approved Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry Fellowship in Neurodegeneration and Aging.

ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, took away Casey’s speech. Then our researchers gave it back. Watch how this brain-computer interface (#BCI) restored his ability to communicate and brought the whole room to tears.
