Welcome to the UCSD Adult Neurology Residency Training Program. Our goal is to train excellent clinical neurologists and prepare them for careers in academic medicine, clinical practice or research. For many years the UCSD Neurosciences research program has been the preeminent program of its kind in the country, and ranks first out of 90 competitors in overall NIH grant funding. The graduate program in Neurosciences is one of the most highly respected in the nation. This provides a stimulating background for acquiring a broad based experience in Neurology. It allows opportunity for exposure to nationally known clinicians and researchers in such fields as Alzheimer’s disease, neurovascular disorders, HIV Neurology, movement disorders and many others. The Department of Neurosciences is composed of 33 ladder-rank faculty members, 27 research and project scientists, and 27 faculty who hold adjunct and joint appointments. Additionally, there are 61 individuals outside the university who participate in our clinical teaching programs. We are very proud of our program, residents and graduates.
