ECU Health Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a new, university-affiliated academic program at ECU Health Medical Center, launched with its inaugural intern class in July 2025 and integrated with the Brody School of Medicine's teaching community. The program offers broad subspecialty faculty exposure across epilepsy, sleep, neurocritical care, headache, pediatric neurology, cerebrovascular disease, movement disorders/dementia, neuroimmunology/MS, neuromuscular disease, neuro-oncology, and interventional stroke, alongside collaboration with neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neuropathology, physiatry, and psychiatry. Research and quality improvement are explicitly framed as integral to resident development rather than optional add-ons, indicating an academic orientation from the outset. As an eastern North Carolina institution under ECU Health, the program likely serves a regional referral and underserved population base, though this is not detailed beyond the subspecialty breadth described.
