The Neurology residency didactic curriculum consists of 19 courses (one month each).  Each course consists of 12 to 15 lectures. Lectures are delivered on the Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays of a calendar month (and Wednesdays when Grand Rounds are not scheduled).  Selected courses are delivered once every year (Introduction, EEG, EMG, Awareness, Statistics).  All other courses are presented twice every 3 years.  This schedule allows residents two opportunities to receive the material during their training.  Residents are expected to receive credit for all 19 courses before graduation.

The course supervisor coordinates the course development: the lecturer assignments and scheduling, the syllabus compilation and distribution, and the final evaluation process.  Residents will be granted credit at the end of each course by the supervisor based on lecture attendance and a final evaluation. This may be based on multiple choice test of lecture content, oral or written essay or project.

The course schedule for the 2007-2008 academic year:

Additional didactic lectures and seminars throughout the year are presented at Neurology grand rounds, the Neuroscience seminar series and as part of Neurology fellowship training programs and the graduate program in Neurosciences.  Residents are welcome and encouraged to attend these lectures as well.
