We provide an excellent educational experience in a wonderfully supportive environment for our neurology trainees. Our faculty members are devoted teachers, clinicians, and researchers. We work closely with other disciplines including neuro-ophthalmology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, psychiatry, and many others to provide a broad scope of expertise to our neurology residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our program strives to provide an environment that promotes clinical excellence, scholarship, and professional behavior; stimulates self-directed life-long learning; and develops the qualities of a compassionate physician. Our residents work closely with other services in both the inpatient and outpatient settings to evaluate and care for a diverse group of patients with a wide variety of neurological problems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Experiences include the acute management of neurological emergencies, non-emergent visits, and intensive care unit (ICU) patient management. There are many educational opportunities including our city wide Neurological Sciences Grand Rounds, San Antonio Neuropathology CPC, Noon Report, regularly scheduled neuroradiology and neuro-ophthalmology conferences, Basic Science Conferences, and a resident didactic lecture series. There are many opportunities for participation in research activities from basic science laboratory research to clinical trials with faculty mentors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the training program is to prepare our residents for the independent practice of clinical neurology. This is based on supervised clinical work with increasing responsibilities for outpatients and inpatients. Upon completion of our program, residents are equipped with the skills necessary for excellence in either an academic or private practice career. The goal of training our residents to become excellent clinical neurologists includes demonstrating the following standards of performance prior to completing our residency program:<\/span><\/p>\n
