Residency: Neurology at Jackson Health System

by Akane Naka, Project Manager | November 14, 2006

Neurology Residency Training Program:

Jackson is home to one of the largest neurology residency training programs in the United States. The Board-Approved program offers training for both adult and pediatric neurology. The program provides intensive clinical training on the neurology services of two large general hospitals, detailed instruction in basic and related clinical neurosciences, exposure to investigative laboratory science, and a variety of conferences and specialized neurological clinics. The residency training schedule is designed for flexibility. After the first year of basic clinical neurology training, every effort is made to accommodate the request of each resident for elective rotations that are chosen in concert with individualized career goals. For hands-on experience in clinical or bench research, each resident is assigned to a mentor under whose guidance the residents pursue scholarly research projects during the period of their residency. Substantial elective time is provided in the final years of training. The program emphasizes excellence in clinical neurology and has produced academic neurologists, practitioners of neurology, researchers, and teachers of national and international repute.
