Director's Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to consider the Medical
College of Georgia Neurology Residency Program. As Dr. Hess has outlined
briefly in his welcome letter, we are very
encouraged about the future of Neurology and are looking forward to many
years of exciting and interesting academic pursuits.
As you have seen our Neurology Program accepts three adult Neurology
Residents per year and one pediatric Neurology Resident each year. However,
we have very active fellowship programs with fellowships in Movement
Disorders, Clinical Neurophysiology, Stroke, and Pain Neurology. These
fellows work very closely with our Neurology Residents and allow them an
even further resource during their training. Our Neurology Residency Program
is an integral part to our Neuroscience Center of Excellence at the Medical
College of Georgia and as a result we work very closely with the Departments
of Psychiatry and Neurosurgery to provide a continuum of care for our
patients as well as cross many borders in terms of clinical and basic
science research.
This means our residents have a wealth of opportunities to pursue their own
academic interests in both the basic science or clinical realm. This also
offers them the opportunity of a great number of patients to further
increase their clinical skills and become excellent Neurologists.
We have been very lucky to attract superior residents over the last decade
and the level of cooperation among our residents is outstanding. Our
department prides itself on our collegial atmosphere and our teaching to the
residents and students.
We are sincerely devoted to the success of our residents and hope that you
will consider us as part of your pursuits.
Thank you,
| J. Ned Pruitt II, M.D. Director, Residency Program Associate Professor Department of Neurology |
