Neurology Residency Program Research Opportunities Residents typically spend 5-6 months on
electives, and
many residents use this time to obtain training in either clinical or
basic science research. This training is particularly valuable
for those individuals who already know they are interested in becoming
an academic neurologist, or who want more experience to decide whether
that is the career they want to pursue. Our curriculum is designed to
comply with the requirements of the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education and is in keeping with their
philosophy on Flexible
Training in Neurology to maximize efficient development of
neurologist investigators. There are many opportunities available
for research within the
Department of Neurology. In addition, there are also many faculty
in other departments at Yale University that perform research relevant
to clinical neuroscience, and residents are welcome to work with any of
these faculty. Examples of available opportunities during
residency training are found in
the
following links. For a brief description of research in our
department, click on: For a more detailed description of the
accomplishments of neurology faculty in PDF format, click on: To learn more about the wide variety of basic
neuroscience research performed by faculty at Yale University,
including many based outside our department, click on the following

the VA Medical Center in the neighboring town of West Haven, several of
our faculty members perform cutting edge research on Spinal Cord
Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, and Neuropathic Pain, at the: Residents can use this research elective time
as a springboard for a variety of postgraduate
training opportunities at Yale University. Those who are interested in a more intensive
research experience during
their residency may consider the Clinical
Neuroscience
Career Development Track, which involves extension of their
training by 1-2 years.
