About the program
University of Utah Child Neurology Residency (Primary Children's Hospital, University Hospital, Salt Lake VA). Residents start in pediatrics, with an ABP board-eligible track or a Pediatric Neurology Track that swaps some PGY-2 blocks for child neurology. Child neurology training begins in PGY-3 with a two-week boot camp and continues to PGY-5, with increasing autonomy and elective time.
Summarized from the program’s official website. Confirm details with the program.
Program highlights
- Two tracks: choose ABP board-eligible (dual certification) or the Pediatric Neurology Track for early child neurology exposure; know which fits your goals.
- Child neurology residents take overnight and weekend call only for pediatric neurology (no adult neurology call), using a night float hybrid system.
- Primary Children's serves an eight-state referral area and is ranked #21 for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News; ask about case mix.
- Rural rotations in Montana (Billings, Missoula) and a longitudinal underserved clinic in Blanding, UT suit applicants interested in rural or underserved care.
- PGY-4 and PGY-5 residents present a WINO paper to the Western Intermountain Neurological Organization and give Grand Rounds; show scholarly interest.
- In-house fellowships in epilepsy, neuromuscular, stroke, autoimmune, autonomic and headache; ask about internal fellowship matches.
