The University of Kentucky College of Medicine offers a Residency in Child Neurology program that is deeply rooted in the principles established by Dr. David B. Clark in the 1960s. The program emphasizes the integration of child and adult neurology to produce well-rounded neurologists.
Their residency training program is structured to provide a unique integration of pediatric and adult neurology experiences. Residents start with child neurology rotations before transitioning to adult neurology, with selective time interwoven throughout the program. This approach aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of neurology across different age groups.
The Child Neurology program at University of Kentucky includes an in-patient service at the Kentucky Children's Hospital and involvement in rural Appalachian clinics. Residents and attending physicians actively participate in these clinics, providing care to children with neurological disorders from underserved areas.
Educational opportunities include regular teaching conferences and grand rounds featuring national and international experts in neurology. The program also provides comprehensive training to prepare residents for in-service examinations and board certification.
Application to the program involves two PGY-1 child neurology resident positions annually, accepted through ERAS and filled via the National Resident Matching Program. They also offer a PGY-3 reserved physician position for candidates who have completed a two-year pediatric residency. Virtual interviews are conducted between October and January by invitation only.
