AdventHealth Florida Program

Program Identity & Fit

AdventHealth Orlando's Neurology Residency is a faith-based, university-unaffiliated program situated within a large tertiary/quaternary referral hospital serving Central Florida and drawing complex referrals from the Southeast, Caribbean, and South America. The four-year curriculum layers substantial internal medicine and critical care exposure onto core neurology rotations (EEG, EMG, stroke, neuro-ICU, child neurology) with dedicated research blocks in PGY-3 and PGY-4, and residents train alongside an active clinical trials infrastructure (Phase I-III) spanning neurology subspecialties. The program explicitly frames training around "whole-person care" (body, mind, spirit) consistent with its faith-based mission, and pairs subspecialty exposure (movement disorders, epilepsy, neuroimmunology) with an expectation that residents engage in scholarly work through the AdventHealth Center for Academic Research Excellence. Its emphasis on cutting-edge tools, named subspecialty didactic tracks, and structured research blocks suggests the program values residents who can combine solid general clinical grounding with active participation in ongoing investigative work.
