No discrimination: Our program led by Dr. Alissa Willis(@myelinmd) and Dr.@HartmutUschmann firmly believes that we don’t discriminate on the basis of race, color, region, religion, sex or orientation. We have always matched a good mix of residents - aka “A Mini United Nations”

Autonomy: Our residency believes in giving the residents a sense of autonomy while also having a graduated level of responsibility.
We start our Neurology continuity clinics as a PGY-1, but the intern clinics are capped at 2 pts until the year end. That’s 3 hrs to see 2 pts!

Residents as Mentors: We are designed in a way that residents are paired with mentors (senior residents and faculty). Most of our residents like Silu Lu (PGY-3) chose to have 2 resident mentors (Life mentor for issues outside of work; Career mentor to discuss work issues)#YOLO
