Program Info
In the spectrum of modern medicine neurology has and will occupy a place of prominence. Because of rapid changes in demographics in this country and in the rest of the industrial world, the burden of neurological diseases are on the increase. It is estimated that by the end of the first quarter of this century the number of patients with neurological illnesses will double. Temple University?۪s Department of Neurology, in accordance with its historical mission, has accepted past and present challenges. Temple Neurology has played a pioneering role in neurological care, including the first minimally invasive neurosurgery and the invention of the first human stereotaxic surgical apparatus in the U.S. The earliest stereo–encephalotomies were performed at Temple University Hospital. Former Neurology Chairman, Dr. Milton Alter, is considered one of the founders of neuroepidemiology and is honored by the American Academy of Neurology with a fund established in his name.

"The night before, the residents did a Q&A for the interview candidates. The morning of, the program coordinator shared a little bit about the program while waiting for the Program Director to give a powerpoint presentation about the program. We then moved into a waiting room with the other candidates and had the chance to chat with each other and occasionally with the program coordinator. We interviewed with the PD, faculty and the program coordinator. "
