We accept applications through ERAS.

application information

We take 7 residents per year of training for a total of 21 residents.

Interviews take place most Tuesdays and Fridays from November through mid-January.  For the 2025-2026 application cycle, all interviews will be conducted virtually via Zoom.  If you can only interview at other times, please contact us.

No, you may do your preliminary internal medicine training wherever you like.  We do guarantee the PGY1 preliminary year here at Brown for anyone who matches with us at Brown Neurology.  The majority of residents do take advantage of this guarantee.  You must still apply separately to the internal medicine preliminary program, but you will not have to interview separately.  Your interview with us in Brown Neurology satisfies the interview requirement for the preliminary year.

Our July conference series focuses on neurological emergencies and inpatient/outpatient work flows. PGY-2s have protected time to attend these conferences. In addition, residents perform a stroke simulation with standardized patients at our simulation center. Each PGY-2 does their first 2 weekend shifts or 2 short calls as a "buddy call" with a PGY-4 resident.

We use the X+Y (in our case 2+4) model.  This means that throughout the year residents have 2 weeks of outpatient rotations during which they have 3 continuity clinic sessions per week, alternating with 4 weeks of typically inpatient rotations during which they have no continuity clinic responsibilities.

No, all residents in good standing can join one or multiple tracks: clinician-educator, clinician-researcher, and the Brown Residency International and Global Health Training (BRIGHT) pathway.
