Since our inception in 1992, the majority of graduates from the UConn Health/Hartford Hospital Neurology Residency Program have entered competitive fellowship training programs in a variety of neurology subspecialty areas.
Our board pass rate is 100% over the past five years.
After fellowship, our graduates have pursued successful careers in academic neurology as well as in a variety of high quality outpatient subspecialty and hospital based practices. This reflects a comprehensive and flexible training program which provides residents both a solid foundation and opportunities to pursue specific interests within the field.
