Yale
Neurology Residency
Welcome from the Chairman of
Neurology
As
the new chair of the Yale Department of Neurology, I encourage you to visit
us and explore our new department. The mission statement of our Neurology
Residency Program is to train the leaders in the field of neurologic disease.
While this may be the same goal of other residency programs you may be
considering our program will be dedicated to the tailoring of training
programs for the goals and aspirations of our residents.
The
program will be based on three tracks besides the expectation of clinical
excellence where a wide range of general and specialty neurology divisions
with a diverse patient population will provide outstanding clinical training.
- Medical Science. Providing an environment for
physician-scientists such that if you have an MD/PhD, Yale University
will be open to you such that when you are done, you will be prepared to
write an NIH grant and to transition to a faculty position. If you are
not trained in science but are interested in a career as a physician
scientist, Yale has a variety of options to provide you this postgraduate
training, including a special PhD program for residents for
you to explore.
- Clinical Research. We are dedicated to training the next
cadre of clinical scientists well schooled in computational biology and
clinical trial design.
Residents can apply to the Robert Wood Johnson Fellowship program
or develop individual programs with the Yale School of Public Health.
- Physician Educator. While natural skills as a
communicator facilitate teaching, the art of medical education requires
training in education with development of educational tools and
processes. We will be developing a Residency Teaching program to train
the future neurologist in the clinical educator track.
The
Yale Neurology Programs traditional excellence in research will be
complemented by a major new investment by Yale-New
Haven Hospital
in Clinical Neuroscience where true excellence in medical science and
education will be combined with a University
Hospital serving an
extremely large and diverse patient population.
New Haven is a vibrant
college town with active theatre, museums, and music with easy access to New York (and Boston)
with lovely places to live either in either an urban or rural environment.
I
invite you to learn more about our excellent training program, and look
forward to discussing options with you that are specific to your career
goals.
