2/ 📍What we look for (1/2):
📍We conduct a holistic review to find candidates with inherent curiosity for learning and a passion to serve neurological patients. As our chair Dr. Okun says - “the patient is the sun and we orbit around them”.

2/ 📍What we look for (2/2):
A team-focused attitude is also key, as we have a great group of residents and faculty who all support one another.

3/ 🤓 #MedStudent advice: (1/2):
You will likely get a solid education at most programs, so put less emphasis on metrics and "rank" in favor of trusting your gut impression about where you will fit in best.

3/ 🤓 #MedStudent advice: (2/2):
Residency days are long, but the four years go by fast - jump in with both feet and make every day count! You will never again have access to these types of structured educational opportunities.

4/ 🥼Opportunities after residency: (1/2):
UF has ten robust neurology fellowship programs, including programs like TRACS (Trauma, Concussion and Sports Neuromedicine) that are uniquely reflective of UF.

4/ 🥼Opportunities after residency: (2/2):
Most of our graduates do pursue a fellowship (either at UF or other strong programs), but they are certainly well prepared to begin practice in general neurology if they so choose.

5/ #Wellness (1/2):
Our program offers many avenues for support. Every resident has multiple formal mentors - career, peer, research - and all of our faculty (including the chair) have open-door policies for informal mentoring.

5/ #Wellness (2/2):
We have a departmental wellness program directed by our APD Dr. Patterson, and a dedicated Wellness Chief. Our biggest resident support is each other - we have a wonderfully collaborative group!

6/ 💖Favorite aspects of the program(1/4):
So Many!
Opportunities for residents to have a voice in their experience through weekly meetings with the PD and APDs, and monthly meetings with the chair. We enjoy removing barriers to ensure everyone has the best experience possible!

7/ 🧠 Fun Fact (2/2):
Our downtown has lots of wonderful local restaurants. It's an easy day trip to other fun places like the beach, St. Augustine (oldest city in the country), or Orlando amusement parks.
