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
Methodist Hospital
Children's Nebraska

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.
To recruit residents from diverse training backgrounds and interests who share a passion for neurology or neurology subspecialties.
To encourage and model residents as medical educators for students with diverse backgrounds and neurology literacy.
To promote a culture of innovation and multidisciplinary team-work through participation in scientific research, medical education, patient safety and quality improvement activities.
To provide a safe and nurturing clinical learning environment that values wellness, respect and compassion for patients, family, staff, trainees and peers.

This gives our residents the opportunity to work with and learn from leaders in patient care, research, education, administration and outreach who deliver innovative care to patients with the most severe and complex neurologic disorders.

What We Do

Our program encourages wellness and resiliency through formal training and department-sponsored social activities. Our program's vision is to enhance neurologic care for Nebraska and to graduate outstanding neurologists who will be leaders in research, quality improvement, outreach and medical education.
