Education

The University of Minnesota Neurology Residency Program has continuously graduated Neurology trainees since the 1940s. The program, initially developed under the guidance of Dr. A.B. Baker, the founder of the American Academy of Neurology, continues to provide an outstanding training experience designed to meet equally the needs of the future clinician or academician. The excellence of the training program is one of the highest priorities of the department. Among the significant strengths of the four-year program are the range and the depth of the clinical experience provided at several teaching hospitals, the devotion of the full-time faculty at each of these hospitals to teaching, patient care, and scholarship, and the focus on both clinical and basic research in the midst of a first-rank neuroscience community. The faculty includes 60 clinical neurologists.
