 The Pediatric Neurology Residency at the Hackensack Meridian Network has a lot of advantages and one major advantage is the affiliation with the new medical school, the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. The Child Neurology Program consists of two years of pediatric residency, one year of adult neurology residency, and then two years of child neurology specific training. The curriculum is going to be quite robust, providing the Pediatric Neurology Resident opportunity to learn about all aspects of Pediatric Neurology, utilizing didactics, patient conferences and journal clubs throughout their time during the training. Obviously they're going to be focused a bit more on general pediatrics in the first two years and on the adult side in the third year, but basically the rotations all concentrate on inpatient medicine and then there's a component which is outpatient medicine. At the medical school we also have the Center for Discovery and Innovation which offers opportunities for even bench research. Using the affiliation with the medical school offers the resident an opportunity to engage in a lot of academic activity, teaching medical students if they wish, as well as research opportunities during the elective time. The residents will be getting really hands-on close contact with the faculty, both the pediatric neurologists who are in the faculty as well as the sub-specialists including epilepsy, headache, movement disorders, neuro-neurology, neonatal neurology, and neuro-oncology. The residents will have a wonderful opportunity to shape and develop and evolve our program both in terms of how we run our didactics, how we take care of our patients, and also becoming residents as teachers for other medical students, for pediatric residents. I think the biggest reason for a person to want to come here is the fact that the region, meaning Central New Jersey, is highly diverse both ethnically and economically. So you see a vast array of different types of patients with different concerns and it makes for a very broad type of experience compared to many other hospitals.
