Training the Neurologists of Tomorrow

Based at Baptist Hospital of Miami, the Neurology Residency curriculum provides residents with a strong foundation of knowledge and clinical skills in general neurology and neurology subspecialties, as well as training in scientific pursuit, continuous quality improvement and scientific literature appraisal.

The program is integrated to include the PGY1 Internal Medicine preliminary year, and we prepare our residents to pursue specialty training or enter the workforce as neurologists in both community and academic settings.
