Program Curriculum
The goals of the University of Minnesota residency education program in Neurology are to prepare the physician/trainee for the independent practice of clinical Neurology and passing the ABPN certification exam in Neurology. These overall goals include attaining competence in the six core areas of the ACGME.
Resident education will be based on supervised clinical work with increasing responsibility for outpatients and inpatients of all ages and genders. It will have a foundation of organized instruction in the basic neurosciences.
