\"ChildThe UNC Child Neurology Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited program (PGY1-PGY5) that accepts two categorical residents per year. After residents complete two years of training in pediatrics<\/a>, their third year is spent predominantly in adult neurology training, where they participate in the evaluation and management of patients with a variety of neurological diseases. The following two years are dedicated to child neurology, with twelve months of clinical child neurology training at the NC Children’s Hospital, a tertiary care center, where emergency medicine, inpatient services, and outpatient clinics are located.<\/p>\n

Also during the last two years, twelve months of elective rotations are offered in a wide range of research and clinical settings, from subspecialty clinics, to inpatient services, research and practice improvement focus rotations. Some examples of elective rotations include: epilepsy, sleep medicine, the\u00a0 Carolina Institute of Developmental Disabilities (CIDD)<\/a>,\u00a0pediatric psychiatry, pediatric neurosurgery, neuro-critical care, neuromuscular-neurophysiology, pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation, the palliative care team, and many more. We work with each resident to tailor a training plan that best fits their individual interests and career goals. All adult and pediatric inpatient rotations and child neurology clinics are located at UNC Hospitals main campus, and adult neurology specialty clinics are at the Neurology outpatient clinic.<\/p>\n
