New York Presbyterian Hospital Cornell Campus Program

Program Identity & Fit

Weill Cornell's neurology residency is a tertiary/quaternary academic program embedded in NewYork-Presbyterian, with rotation partners at Memorial Sloan Kettering (neuro-oncology) and Rockefeller University, giving residents exposure to advanced subspecialty care including neurointerventional radiology, a 14-bed Neuro-ICU, and functional/PET neuroimaging. Research is structurally central: a dedicated BMRI Research Fellow position (one per four years) and the McGraw Fellowship offer protected PGY-4 research time, and residents are supported to present at AAN, ISC, AES, and other national meetings. The program also runs a formal Resident-as-Educator Track for those pursuing academic teaching careers, and offers eight in-house fellowships (epilepsy, vascular, neurocritical care, neuro-oncology, MS, headache, behavioral neurology, clinical neurophysiology), signaling strong expectation of subspecialization and academic career progression. The four-year categorical structure begins with a PGY-1 internal medicine year at NYP/Weill Cornell, and the program values residents who combine strong clinical care with scholarly initiative and leadership potential in research, education, or advocacy.
