"...training programs are perhaps best divided into research & clinical programs..."

Members do not see this ad.

Recently I received this info/advice:

"The training programs are perhaps best divided into "research" and "clinical" programs. By that I mean there is a definite trend to either emphasize the clinical role of neurologists versus the more basic science/research role. Neither is completely exclusive but each keeps you so busy it is hard to do both effectively in a training program."

Can anyone tell me which programs fall under the "research group"?

I'd love to know which programs are included in this category.

Thanks!

Just another wanna-be-brainiologist : )

I think that this is a misconception, one willfully fostered by the programs that fancy themselves as top "clinical" destinations. It is kinda like when someone raves about the "great personality" of the blind date they set you up with.

It is true that there are programs with a philosophy geared toward turning out academicians, and programs geared toward private practice docs, with the former programs offering more research. However, twisting this into an idea that academic programs provide an inferior clinical training is silly.

from what i noticed.. programs with a VA hospital as well as large "county programs" are inherently clinical programs.. 😉

fair enough.

could you tell me which programs are included in the "...programs with a philosophy geared toward turning out academicians..." group?

that's the group of programs that i'm trying to identify.

thanks!

Top academic programs, in no particular order, include:

Partners (MGH/BWH), UCSF, Johns Hopkins, UPenn, Columbia, Stanford, Wash U, Yale, UNC, Duke, Emory, Cornell, UChicago, UCLA

I would add Mayo to that list.
