NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

NYU Grossman's Categorical Child Neurology Residency is a five-year, academically embedded program (two pediatrics years plus three integrated neurology years, with one full adult neurology year) housed within one of the largest adult neurology training programs in the country. Residents rotate across five Manhattan sites spanning private tertiary care (Tisch/Kimmel Pavilion, Hassenfeld Children's Hospital), public safety-net care (Bellevue), and federal veteran care (VA NY Harbor), producing exposure to both highly specialized subspecialty neurology and underserved, socioeconomically diverse pediatric and adult populations. The program has a structured patient-oriented research curriculum (PORC) pairing residents with faculty mentors, an annual research symposium, and encourages both basic science and clinical scholarly work, though research is positioned as encouraged/supported rather than mandatory for all trainees. Continuity clinic responsibility from year one onward, extensive subspecialty electives (epilepsy, neurogenetics, neuromuscular, neuro-oncology, dysautonomia), and integration with adult neurology simulation/didactic resources suggest the program values residents who can function across both adult and pediatric neurologic care and who bring genuine curiosity for complex, rare, and system-spanning disease.
