A Letter from the ResidentsWelcome to the University of Rochester Neurology Residency Program! Congratulations on choosing Neurology as your specialty. We hope that your application process and search for training programs has been exciting and relatively stress-free. One of the most difficult aspects of this search is sifting through information about rotations, call schedules, and curriculum and trying to determine how a program sets itself apart from the pack. By arriving at this page, you already know that the University of Rochester Neurology Department is one of the national leaders in research funding and clinical pursuits, and has an established reputation for excellence in residency training. We have many internationally recognized faculty and subspecialty units that treat patients referred from across the country. The commitment of these faculty members to teaching ensures that we receive quality subspecialty training. Still, with all the above distinctions, what really sets us apart is the atmosphere in which we train. Our residency operates like a big family, with each person looking out for his or her peers. We work well together and play often—picnics, cocktail parties, poker nights, golf outings, barbeques, and baseball games, to name a few. The department even sponsors several big gatherings per year, and a large percentage of the faculty join in the fun. In a city with so much to offer (see the links on the main residency page for “About Rochester”) it is a testament to our group that we choose to spend so much time together outside of the hospital. Our residency program has a distinguished past and a bright future. As collaborators in our own education and training, we are always looking for ways to improve on an already excellent training arena. Our goal is to continue to attract a diverse group of individuals dedicated to Neurology and the process of education and teaching. Above all, we are looking for people who share our fun-loving, hardworking, and collegial attitude. We look forward to meeting you during the interview process, and please feel free to contact us with any questions.
