Montefiore Einstein Neurology Resident Research Program
Our Residents
All adult and pediatric neurology residents fulfill a scholarly activity requirement during their residencies. Scholarly activities may include case reports or clinical series; clinical or neuroscience research projects; epidemiological or cohort studies; and analytical reports as educational tools.
Faculty members mentor residents who present their work at national or international scientific meetings, including the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting. All graduating residents present their work as a scientific platform over two department-wide grand rounds at the end of the academic year. At graduation, as determined by a faculty of senior leaders and academic educators, one to two residents in the program are awarded the Isabelle Rapin, MD Scholarly Activity Award, created to honor those who accomplish and present the most scholarly and seminal work.
Resident Opportunities
Our department offers residents plenty of opportunities to fulfill their scholarly requirements, including:
- Resident-initiated research projects spurred by interesting cases or clinical scenarios encountered during training.
- A focus on subspecialty divisional strengths within the incredibly diverse patient population of the Bronx.
- In certain circumstances, residents may choose to consolidate their elective time during their chief resident year, and work on a neuroscience project over an uninterrupted period of consecutive months.
- Shorter electives offer a hybrid of clinical and research activities in a neurological subspecialty.
- Searchable online database of research projects uploaded by faculty.
Publications & Features
Over many years, our adult and pediatric neurology residents have been prolific in their scholarly productivity, presenting numerous abstracts at diverse neurology and subspecialty national and international scientific meetings, as well as publishing work across leading international peer-reviewed papers and journals. The Department’s visionary methodology and success of its resident research program was featured in Neurology, with an accompanying editorial, “Formal Research Exposure During Neurology Residency Training Matters”. The Resident Program proudly upholds its reputation for setting the standard in training programs across neurology and other disciplines.
Research Highlights
Our Neurology Residency Program recently participated in a study led by the American Academy of Neurology—a randomized controlled trial of mentored peer review by neurology residents.
