Rotation Schedule by Year

At least one year of training in an approved PGY-1 year is required before entering the Neurology Residency. Although many residents do the PGY-1 year in a Yale program, training may also be done at another ACGME-accredited institution/program. Eight months of internal medicine are required. However, ample elective time has been arranged with the cooperation of the Internal Medicine Department at Yale to enable residents to pursue additional clinical opportunities and approved research and scholarly activities during this year. Since the 2018-19 academic year, all PGY-1 neurology residents at Yale spend at least eight weeks in neurology rotations, including stroke and neurocritical care, in order to achieve earlier integration into the neurology department and better preparation for the intensive neurology training in PGY-2 - 4.
