The Department of Neurology at NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine is dedicated to offering outstanding medical education and conducting clinical research to further the personalized care of our patients.

Medical students who are interested in specializing in neurology benefit from interacting with faculty who are highly skilled at providing inpatient and outpatient clinical care for a variety of neurological conditions. These include Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, peripheral nerve disorders, neuromuscular junction disorders, and muscle diseases. Medical students see first-hand how our neurologists collaborate with specialists in neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and rehabilitation to offer our patients comprehensive treatment plans.

Neurology Education

Our department trains the next generation of leaders in neurology through a balance of teaching, clinical experiences, and ongoing clinical research activities. We offer education to medical students and continuing medical education opportunities to healthcare providers. In addition, our Neurology Residency prepares physicians to become outstanding clinical neurologists.

Medical Student Education

To develop the clinical judgment necessary to treat neurology patients, students participate in the department’s core clerkship as part of phase two of the MD curriculum. The six-week clerkship rotations take place at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island and our clinical training site at NYU Langone Ambulatory Care East Meadow. We also organize and administer a six-week Body, Mind, and Behavior course for the first year of the medical school.

Neurology Residency

Our three-year, accredited Neurology Residency gives physicians the opportunity to become exceptional clinical neurologists. Our faculty also foster interest in clinical and basic neuroscience research.
