The Adult Neurology Residency Program at the University of Rochester is a four-year categorical program in neurology that includes a preliminary (PGY-1) year of internal medicine training. This preliminary year is supervised by both the neurology and internal medicine program directors. The core curriculum of the first year is identical to that of the First Year Categorical Medicine residents. Eight resident positions are available per year.

Our deadline for receiving applications for PGY-1 positions beginning in July 2024 is now closed. We presently have no vacancies for neurology residency positions at this time.

We take a comprehensive, holistic approach to reviewing all applications received from both U.S. and international candidates.
