Greetings

From the Chair

The Department of Neurology at the University of Kansas Medical Center is the perfect place to choose for your neurology training. Our nationally and internationally recognized faculty are dedicated to resident education and the career development of our graduates. Our well-designed conference schedules combined with our teaching hospitals and clinic services provide a fertile ground for the development of neurologists.

We are located in a beautiful Midwestern city, listed as one of the best and most affordable places to live in the United States. Our School of Medicine celebrated its centennial in 2004. When you visit our campus, you will notice the recent expansions with the addition of three new floors with a dedicated Neurological Intensive Care Unit, step down unit and neurology ward, just above KU Hospital's Center for Advanced Heart Care.

From the Program Director

Welcome to our residency program. Established in 1959 and continuously accredited since then, our program has a long history of providing excellent training in neurology. Our faculty includes neurologists, pediatric neurologists, and basic scientists at three hospitals and at the Hoglund Brain Imaging Center. They are each dedicated to research and to patient care.

Starting in academic year 2009-2010, our program became a four-year integrated program. The program number in the NRMP is used to match all four years of training.

Adult neurology training is conducted at the University of Kansas Hospital and the Kansas City and Leavenworth VA Medical Centers. Pediatric neurology training is conducted at Children's Mercy Hospital (Kansas City, Mo.). Beginning in July 2013, we will match six adult neurology residents. They are joined in their training by pediatric neurology fellows from our affiliated program at Children's Mercy Hospital.

I invite you to learn more about our residency program by contacting Denise Zeller at 913.588.6926 or by email at dzeller@kumc.edu.
