Adult Neurology Residency Curriculum

The PGY1 year, or preliminary year, for Adult Neurology residents begins with nine months of inpatient and outpatient clinics through the Internal Medicine Program in the Department of Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. Interns conclude the year with neurology and psychiatry/behavioral neurology rotations before ending with one month in the classroom at Brain Camp.

The PGY2 year of the Adult Neurology Residency Program emphasizes clinical evaluation and management of patients at four adult hospitals and the children’s hospital and outpatient clinics on the school’s Indianapolis campus. The goal of this training year is to obtain clinical competence in general neurology.

The PGY3 year of residency training emphasizes the foundations of clinical neuroscience.

During the PGY4 year, the senior Adult Neurology resident assumes a role with greater decision-making responsibility in the clinical setting. These residents enhance their teaching skills with greater roles in the ward, clinic and lecture settings.
