Program Identity & Fit

Duke Neurology is a university-based, academic tertiary/quaternary program built on a preliminary internal medicine PGY-1 year followed by three years of adult neurology training at Duke University Hospital. The program is embedded in a large, subspecialized department with named divisions (movement disorders, memory disorders/Alzheimer's, epilepsy, neuromuscular, neuro-oncology) and extensive translational and clinical trial infrastructure, including partnerships with the Duke/UNC Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and cross-departmental collaborations in neurobiology, immunology, and biomedical engineering. All residents complete a required academic project (clinical, basic science, or QI), with structured research electives, monthly research-in-progress meetings, and mentorship pipelines toward subspecialty fellowship. The program also builds formal teaching skills through resident-led conferences, medical student instruction (Brain & Behavior course), and an education fellowship (MELT), signaling a strong academic-medicine and future-educator orientation alongside fellowship-track subspecialization.
