Child Neurology Residency (Florida)
Program Description
The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville — in affiliation with the Nemours Children's Clinic — offers a three-year Child Neurology Residency Program. Mayo and Nemours have been collaborating for more than a decade to provide leading-edge training for residents and fellows.
This Child Neurology Residency offers extensive in-patient and out-patient clinical experience, didactic programs and research opportunities. The pediatric portions of the residency take place at the Nemours Children's Clinic and adjacent Wolfson Children's Hospital. The adult clinical experience is provided at Mayo Clinic.
Your training program can be customized to meet your individual career goals in clinical or academic practice. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology requires that you complete a minimum of two years of general pediatrics residency or one year of pediatric residency, plus one year of internal medicine residency to become certified in neurology with special qualification in child neurology.
Certification
After completing two years of pediatric training, you will be board-eligible in both pediatrics and neurology, with special qualification in child neurology. If you complete one year each of internal medicine and pediatrics, you will be eligible only for neurology certification with special qualification in child neurology by the ABPN.
