Neurology Residency Program
Our program balances clinical training, a broad educational curriculum and career development. Graduates of the residency program are well-prepared to enter clinical practice or to continue training in subspecialty fellowship.
In this four-year categorical ACGME-certified program, residents rotate through three affiliated training facilities:
- Nebraska Medicine, which is the primary teaching hospital of UNMC
- Omaha Division of the Veterans Administration Medical Center
- Children's Hospital & Medical Center
Together, these tertiary care hospitals comprise the largest referral center in Nebraska and its neighboring states, providing residents with experience treating a diverse range of patients and disease states.
Program Goals:
Our goals are aligned with UNMC's ITEACH values: Innovation, Teamwork, Excellence, Accountability, Courage and Healing.
- To graduate neurologists who are compassionate, clinically proficient, knowledgeable, and ready for independent practice.
