The University of Illinois at Chicago offers exceptional medical education in neurology.
Residency Program
The goal of the UIC Neurology Residency Training Program is to prepare our trainees with the skills necessary for the modern age of neurology. While we stress classical training in the neurological history, examination, localization, and differential diagnosis, we also want our trainees to be facile in such areas as clinical electrophysiology, critical care neurology, neuroinformatics, neuro-epidemiology, neuroimmunology, neuroimaging, neurosonology, the psychosocial issues in neurological disease, basic principles of clinical research, and practical issues of practice within our current health care system.(Read More)
Clerkship Program
Medical students at the University of Illinois at Chicago rotate through the Department of Neurology during their 4th year of medical school. The length of the rotation is 2 weeks. There is also the option for a 3rd year “selective” that can be arranged through the medical school. Students rotate at one of three sites, the University of Illinois Hospital, Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, or Christ Hospital. In addition to the inpatient responsibilities, students shadow Attending Physicians in the outpatient neurology clinic. During the rotation students attend lectures about the neurological exam, diagnosis, and treatment, designed specifically for medical students. Students become competent in the neurological examination, localization, and management of common neurological diseases. (Read More)
