A five-year combined pediatrics and child neurology program (categorical in the NRMP) with graduates eligible for ABPN and pediatric boards.

Summarized from the program’s official website. Confirm details with the program.
Program highlights
- The program is a combined five-year pediatrics and child neurology track, so frame your interest in both general pediatrics and neurology.
- Rainbow's Epilepsy Center has been a NAEC Level IV Pediatric Epilepsy Center since 2001 (including epilepsy surgery evaluation); the 5-bed EMU monitors over 400 patients a year, so ask about EMU and epilepsy surgery exposure if epilepsy interests you.
- Inpatient care is split into general, ICU and neonatal consult teams, with a child neurology resident always on the general and ICU teams: ask how autonomy grows across years.
- Specialised clinics such as the SMA clinic offering gene replacement therapy give hands-on exposure to new neurogenetic therapies.
- Graduates have gone on to epilepsy, headache and neurogenetics training and academic positions; ask about recent fellowship placements.
- Residents can join an annual eight-week Epilepsy/EEG didactic course, and CWRU basic-science lab space is available for those with research interests.
