SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University Program

The SUNY Downstate Neurology Residency program is a fully ACGME-accredited categorical 4-year program. As the primary academic center in Brooklyn, they provide high-quality neurology services to a diverse population with complex needs. Residents receive close mentoring, outstanding education, and all necessary clinical resources to become experts in neurology. The program emphasizes scholarly activity and supports various resident research endeavors.

The program offers an X+Y schedule with a short call and night float system at all three sites. There are no 24-hour calls at Kings County Hospital and no in-house night float for PGY4s. Residents attend morning reports, noon conferences, and participate in journal clubs regularly. The program uses textbooks such as Blumenfeld's Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases, Merritt's Neurology, and Adam and Victor's Principles of Neurology for academic development.

They have current residents across four class years, each with a list of residents in their respective graduation year. Additionally, the program mentions specific educational lectures offered at the beginning of residency, focusing on high-yield neurology topics and easing the transition for incoming residents.
