Welcome to the Harvard BIDMC – Boston Children’s Hospital Neurology Residency Program in Adult Neurology

As the new Chair of the Department of Neurology, I’m delighted by your interested in our program. We are in the process of expanding our residency, creating a heightened focus on wellness, and developing new educational initiatives, including opportunities to take part in clinical and translational research. Whether you are interested in pursuing research, education, or simply providing great clinical care, personalized career mentoring is also an intrinsic and critical part of our curriculum.

Every Harvard training program is unique. We believe ours offers superb, rigorous, training in neurology while still being generous, supportive, and providing a deep sense of camaraderie with faculty and other residents alike. By being based at a single adult medical institution, we offer a more intimate training environment than is typical for most larger neurology programs anywhere else in the country. We hope you will get a sense of this as you explore our website.

Though COVID has restricted the ability to visit our program in-person, we look forward to meeting you virtually during this interview season and ultimately in-person as a resident in our program.
