This is a general fund supporting the Neurology residency program and is administered by the Chair of the Department. The goal of the Neurology Residency Training Program is to prepare residents for the independent practice of clinical neurology. This objective is achieved through exposure to a wide variety of clinical situations including in-patients, out-patients, adults and children, first with the close guidance of senior residents and faculty, and then, as residents demonstrate increasing competency, with lesser intensity of supervision. The mission of our residency is to train compassionate and well-rounded neurologists who exhibit strengths in clinical care, professionalism, research, and the education of future generations. Teaching is the department's highest priority, and we take pride in collaborating with our residents to provide a highly educational, flexible, and fun training program that supports well-being.

The mission of these funds is to promote resident scholarly activity, professional development and well-being. Examples include:

• Supporting resident travel to academic conferences, in particular, to be able to send all PGY4s to the AAN annual meeting each year, as well as each resident with an accepted abstract to the conference of their choice

• Supporting resident wellness by providing healthy meals, counseling, and fitness opportunities  

• Assisting with resident publication fees for accepted papers

• Purchasing group educational software for residency use

• Offsetting a portion of the cost of the ABPN board registration for PGY4 residents

• Other local initiatives for innovations in residency education

Gifts can be made via credit card, check, transfers of stock, real estate, or planned gifts.
