Neurology Education & Training

The Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology provides atypical broad-based and innovative educational and additional training opportunities to propel future generations of academic neurologists into rapidly emerging and paradigm-changing concepts of disease pathogenesis and treatment involving converging and disruptive technological breakthroughs.

We offer seamless experiences spanning pediatric, adult and geriatric neurology residency training, as well as fellowships with international thought leaders in epilepsy, aging and dementia, headache and facial pain, neuromuscular medicine, pediatric neurology and sleep-wake disorders.

Our ACGME-accredited Child and Adult Neurology Residency Programs are among the highest volume training programs in the country offering residents the opportunity to provide care to one of the broadest and most diverse communities in the nation, gaining unparalleled exposure to a wide range of neurological conditions and pathologies, from the most common to the most esoteric entities. Through a robust inpatient and outpatient clinical care experience, wide scope of faculty expertise and complementary clinical, translational and basic science research programs, our residency programs offer residents broad clinical and research experiences and mentorship from a team of nationally and internationally recognized experts tailored to facilitate future career development in their chosen field, be it in the research, clinical and/or non-clinical setting.

Montefiore Einstein is a premier academic health system, with one of the nation’s best children’s hospitals, renowned for groundbreaking research, advanced technologies, patient care innovation, public health advancements, and our world-class medical college. Residents are exposed to advanced diagnostic and treatment modalities, clinical and bench research opportunities as well as to our broad-based innovative healthcare network focused on incorporating a single standard of healthcare quality and access, setting an example for the future of equitable and inclusive healthcare. Our residents gain broad exposure to general neurology and a wide variety of subspecialties while training at our Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Comprehensive Neurovascular/Stroke Center, Neuromuscular Center, Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center, Movement Disorders Center, Sleep Medicine and Chronobiology Center, Center for Autism and Communications Disorders, Center for the Aging Brain, Comprehensive Brain Health Center, and Headache Center.

Our Department is committed to the collaboration of patient and provider, and of clinician and scientist. Our educational program includes a comprehensive educational curriculum that takes a multi-pronged approach to neurology education and includes hands-on workshops, bedside teaching, a world-class grand rounds program, traditional didactic sessions and resident-run lectures with faculty moderators, expanded journal clubs, guided mentorship, and subspecialty conferences in neurology and clinical and basic neurosciences. Our formal scholarly activity program is tailored to enhance resident and faculty engagement in scholarship.

The Saul R. Korey Department of Neurology created a visionary model of neurological care through our culture of revolutionary interdisciplinary biomedical discoveries that enabled us to envision neurological diseases as "lifespan" disorders, defining an entirely new field of study, and forever changing the lens through which neurological diseases are understood. Our seven decades of nationally and internationally-defining biomedical innovations have re-envisioned the field of neurology into a modern scientific specialty. This modern field encompasses a unique spectrum of subspecialty areas in neurology, many of which we have pioneered, and are now standards of practice worldwide.

Our Child Neurology Residency Program offers world-class training within the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Einstein (CHAM), which has been recognized as a top children’s hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. Our program has been repeatedly ranked number one in the New York metropolitan area by the Doximity Residency Navigator Team. CHAM is the only pediatric facility in the Bronx and home to one of the busiest ambulatory programs in the country. All subspecialties are represented within this 193-bed facility, making it a premier setting for our residents to learn.

While training in a collaborative environment under the mentorship of distinguished research and clinical faculty, our residents spend many of their pediatric neurology rotations at CHAM, which also houses a three-bed pediatric epilepsy monitoring unit, our epilepsy unit without walls and pediatric intensive care unit. Our curriculum engages residents in a variety of learning environments, including an intensive summer lecture series integrated with simulation workshops, bedside rounds, morning case conferences and journal clubs.
