All adult neurology residents in our program are required to fulfill a scholarly activity requirement during their time here at Einstein / Montefiore. Such an endeavor can be accomplished in a variety of arenas, including poster or oral presentations at national or international meetings as well as publications in the peer-reviewed literature. Scholarly activities may include case reports or larger clinical series, clinical or neuroscience research projects, epidemiological or large cohort studies, reports as educational tools or the humanities as related to neurology, and other endeavors.
Our department offers residents plenty of opportunities for fulfilling their scholarly requirement, including resident-initiated research projects spurred by interesting cases or clinical scenarios encountered during training, taking advantage of many subspecialty divisional strengths and the incredibly diverse patient population of the Bronx. Clinical research here has covered all areas of subspecialty interests in neurology. In addition, special arrangements can be made for interested neurology residents to consolidate elective time during their chief resident year and work on a neuroscience project over consecutive months uninterrupted.
Dr. Matthew Robbins coordinates this endeavor for the adult neurology residency program and all questions pertaining to this issue can be forwarded to him.
