Yale
Neurology Residency
Postgraduate Training
The
Department of Neurology offers advanced training for qualified individuals
after residency training. Opportunities exist for clinical fellowships and
a wide-variety of research fellowships that can be tailored to the specific
interests of the trainee. Some of these fellowships can also be
combined with degree granting programs to obtain Master's or PhD degrees.
Clinical Fellowships
The
following formal clinical fellowship programs are established in the Yale
Neurology Department.
Cerebrovascular
Disease
Epilepsy/Seizure Disorder
Clinical Neurophysiology
Neuroimmunology
Research Fellowships
There
are many potential research fellowships available at Yale University.
This is a common avenue to pursue for those who are interested in a career in
academic neurology, and can greatly facilitate the success of junior
neurologists who would like to further refine their academic interests before
joining the faculty at a medical school. Examples of research
fellowships that have been pursued by recent graduates of our neurology
residency include:
Clinical
research fellowships through the
Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars
Program
Basic
Science fellowships to investigate the
Scientific Basis of Neurological Disease
Research Funding
Some
research fellowships are supported by Yale
University or are funded by research
grants awarded to our faculty at Yale
University. Others,
especially those designed specifically for a fellow's individual career
interests, require that the fellow apply for and obtain his/her own external
funding. Although this may seem a daunting task to the uninitiated, our
faculty are experienced in mentoring our residents in the skills needed to
obtain this funding, and our residents have been exceptionally successful in
competing for these grants. There are many advantages to the fellowship
candidate in learning and successfully obtaining their own funding, such as
the experience of developing a research proposal, the ability to pursue their
own interests, and establishing that they are capable of independent
funding. Funding sources for both clinical and basic science fellowships
that have been obtained by previous members of our program are listed here:
Brown-Coxe Fellowship
VA Special
Neuroscience Fellowship
American Academy of
Neurology
Clinical Research Training Fellowship
National
Institutes of Health Career Development (K) awards
National
Institutes of Health Ruth L. Kirschstein
Fellowships
Epilepsy
Foundation
Degree Granting Programs
Yale
University offers
unique programs for qualified individuals to obtain an advanced degree while
also pursuing a research project. Examples include:
PhD Program in Investigative Medicine
Masters in Public
Health
