The Department of Neurology has a number of activities with respect to its educational mission. The activities include teaching the fundamentals of neuroscience to undergraduates in the college at The University of Chicago. In addition, medical students and graduate students have the opportunity to enroll in a number of required and elective courses organized by the Division of Biological Sciences that are partly taught or directed by members of the Department of Neurology. Some of these courses target the basic or clinical neurosciences while others involve research rotations (e.g., the Summer Research program for medical students) including mentoring for PhD degrees. The courses are supplemented by a variety of additional neuroscience educational opportunities throughout the Division. The Department of Neurology trains Neurology residents in the PGY-II to PGY-IV years. Lastly, a clinical and research fellowship program is administered by the faculty of the Department of Neurology.

Fellowships:
The Department of Neurology has an active fellowship program encompassing both clinical and basic research. Fellowships are offered in a variety of areas. Please contact our Education Coordinator for program specific information.

Residency:
Our overall goal for the residency training program is to produce competent clinical neurologists who will be able to apply their knowledge of medicine and neuroscience to patient care - whether they opt to work in academia or in the realm of private practice or pursue other directions. Throughout the training, residency will have a progressive hands-on contact with patients and will continuously be called upon to develop differential diagnoses and management decisions.

Medical Students:
The Department of Neurology offers a number of both required and elective clinical and research courses for medical students.

Graduate & Undergraduate Courses:
The Department of Neurology offers a number of elective neuroscience courses for undergraduates and graduate students.
Translational NeuroScience:
Translational Neuroscience is the process of using all technological advances to bring novel therapies with measurable outcomes to patients with neurological diseases.
