Our Facilities

UNC Hospitals at Chapel Hill
UNC Hospitals Medical Center at Chapel Hill

UNC Child Neurology residents primarily train at the UNC Hospitals Medical Center in Chapel Hill and at the Children’s Specialty Services Clinic in Raleigh.

Organizing the residency program within a large university-based medical center allows for an exceptionally enriched training environment with an optimal ratio of outpatient to inpatient care. Since UNC Hospitals is a major academic secondary- and tertiary-referral center, a great number of subspecialty opportunities are available for our residents. An exceptional degree of integration with basic science and other clinical departments provides outstanding research opportunities for the early stages of an academic career.

Residents from the Child Neurology Residency train in diverse inpatient settings such as the inpatient ward services, the neurology consultation service, and the epilepsy monitoring unit. The neurology inpatient consultation service provides neurology consultations for all UNC Hospitals and UNC Emergency Room.
