University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Joe and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-based, four-year categorical neurology program at UT Health San Antonio, anchored by subspecialty centers of excellence (epilepsy, movement disorders, ALS/neuromuscular, MS, and the only Joint Commission-accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center in South Texas) and the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases. Clinical training spans inpatient neurological emergencies, ICU management, and outpatient continuity across a broad-spectrum patient population, with structured exposure to neuro-ophthalmology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, and neuroradiology. The program offers a distinct Neurology Clinician Educator Track (NCET) for residents pursuing teaching-focused academic careers, alongside participation in multiple national research consortia (NEALS, Healey ALS Platform, StrokeNet, Texas Lone Star Stroke Consortium), signaling that clinical trial and translational research involvement is embedded in training rather than incidental. Graduate outcomes show a strong pull toward subspecialty fellowship (vascular, epilepsy, neuromuscular, movement disorders, neuroimmunology, neurocritical care), with many staying on as UT Health San Antonio faculty, alongside a smaller contingent entering general/community neurology practice.
