The purpose of the child neurology residency program is to teach residents how to evaluate and manage the neurological problems of infancy, childhood, and adolescence. The goals of the training of the resident are to make the resident proficient in the diagnosis and management of most inpatients and outpatients seen by the Child Neurology service. This includes becoming familiar with the uses of neurodiagnostic tests, including but not limited to electrophysiological and neuroradiological techniques, metabolic tests, and muscle biopsy. The resident will develop a detailed understanding of normal and abnormal development, as well as the uses of psychometric and neuropsychological testing in child neurology.
