Adult Neurology Residency

There are typically five adult neurology positions each year. We participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). NRMP provides a centralized application service for applicants who apply to multiple programs. All applicants are required to use this service. This is the first year of participation of US adult neurology programs. We will post information as we learn more about the process. Further information may also be obtained through NRMP.

The application process for 2010 begins in the Fall of 2008 (i.e., for those starting PGY2 in 2010). Applicants have to register with NRMP by November 30. Interview is required and usually takes place in November through early January. Other details about the Match Schedule are available on the NRMP web site. In general, all application materials are processed through NRMP. If desired, applicants may contact us directly and send appropriate supplementary materials. This may include curriculum vitae, personal statement, publications, or additional letters of references.

Prior to starting adult neurology residency, each candidate must complete an internship program that includes at least six months of internal medicine with primary responsibility in patient care, and at least two of the remaining six months in internal medicine, pediatrics, or emergency medicine. We do not offer a combined internship-residency position. There are preliminary internal medicine programs at Stanford and Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, as well as other excellent internship programs in the Bay Area. Contact information will be provided at the time of invitation for interview.
