About the Program
Welcome to the Department of Neurology at VCU School of Medicine’s residency program!
We are delighted that you’re pursuing a career in neurology, a fascinating and dynamic field currently undergoing an incredible period of growth and discovery.
Our residency program provides world-class clinical training in a supportive and collegial environment while ensuring our graduates obtain the skills they need to become leaders and pioneers in the field of neurology.
You can expect a comprehensive education in the diagnosis and management of common and rare neurological diseases in a diverse patient population. Skilled clinicians, researchers and educators who are deeply invested in your educational development and success will provide guidance and mentorship throughout your time at VCU.
Our program is designed with flexibility, and we encourage you to pursue educational opportunities and personal growth outside of your core clinical training. This gives you the chance to explore interests you may have in areas such as subspecialty care, research, education and international medicine.
Just as this is an exciting time to be a neurologist, it’s an especially exciting time to be at VCU. Our department is experiencing a period of growth and development, allowing even more opportunities for our residents as they pursue careers in neurology. We're actively expanding our already robust complement of subspecialists and the residency program has grown to include eight residents. We're excited for you to contribute your own passions, interests and talents to the growing department and leave your mark on the residency program.
