Special Features
The University of Utah Neurology residency is nationally known for it's clinical excellence, rural training opportunities, and exposure to specialty trained attendings at both the University and VA Hospitals. Our residents graduate having experienced broad exposure to both the common and uncommon neurologic diagnoses with equitable time in all neurologic outpatient subspecialties. Due to early subspecialty exposure, our residents are able to apply to the fellowship of their choosing.
