NYU Grossman School of Medicine Program

The NYU Grossman School of Medicine offers a combined residency program in Neurology and Psychiatry, providing integrated training in both disciplines. Graduates of the program become skilled clinicians capable of evaluating neurological and psychiatric problems and take on leadership roles in various subspecialties. The program involves six years of training, meeting the requirements for board certification in both disciplines. Residents rotate through various sites, including NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and NYU Langone’s Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.

In the program, residents have opportunities for resident research and mentorship. Training includes experiences in inpatient and ambulatory settings, gaining knowledge in the prevention, detection, and treatment of psychiatric and neurological illnesses. The curriculum involves rotations at Tisch Hospital, Bellevue, and the Manhattan campus of the VA NY Harbor Healthcare System.

Residents receive training in conducting neurological examinations, taking patient histories, clinical exposure in general and subspecialty neurology, and the basic science of clinical neurology. In psychiatry training, experiences include caring for various psychiatric inpatients, outpatient programs, and consultation-liaison psychiatry.

The program also emphasizes research participation in clinical psychiatry, neurology, and the fundamental neurosciences. Residents are expected to engage in some research activity during their training. Twice a year, residents receive evaluations on their progress.

Application requirements include a CV, Medical Student Performance Evaluation (dean’s letter), medical school transcript, personal statement, and three letters of recommendation. International medical graduates need an ECFMG certificate and USMLE scores. The program accepts one or two residents per year.
