Johns Hopkins University Program

The Child Neurology Residency Program at Johns Hopkins University is a five-year, ACGME-accredited program designed to train future pediatric neurologists. Residents will initially follow the curriculum of the pediatric residency program at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital for two years, focusing on family-centered patient care and research.

During the third year, residents will train in the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine Adult Neurology Residency program at Tampa General Hospital. The final two years of training in child neurology combine rotations at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, with electives at Johns Hopkins University and Tampa General Hospital. Didactics include various rounds, journal clubs, and other activities to enhance learning.

The program emphasizes developing leaders in pediatric neurology who provide exceptional, equitable, evidence-based care for children, families, and communities. Research and investigative opportunities are offered to residents in a variety of specialties, including clinical and translational research, quality improvement, and educational scholarship.

Child Neurology residents will also benefit from the resources of the Johns Hopkins All Children's Institute for Brain Protection Sciences, which offers comprehensive brain care. The program values diversity, inclusion, and wellness, aiming to deliver quality services with compassion and commitment to family-centered care.

The location of the program at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, provides diverse patient population experiences, access to state-of-the-art technology, and opportunities for high-quality care provision. Residents are accepted through ERAS and J1 Visas are sponsored. The program accepts applicants for AY 2024-2025 through the National Resident Matching Program.
