Hope everyone had a very happy Match Day! Congratulations to all who are about to join the ranks. Due to the popularity of my IMG friendly pediatric program list, I decided to add a similar list for child neurology programs. In general, child neurology is not an intensely competitive field. There are about 70 programs in the country (almost all university based) ranging from 1 to 5 spots available per year, however most programs will only have 1 or 2 openings. Child neuro tends to be field that is very international graduate friendly because it just hasn't garnered enough attention from US students, so if you are a foreign medical graduate (FMG) with strong step scores and good letters of recommendation, you can essentially get an interview at any program in the US.

IMG Friendly Neurology Residency Programs List What are IMG Friendly Neurology Residency Programs? These are a group of neurology programs that typically invite, interview and highly rank foreign medical graduates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). You can find the full list with programs requirements in this page.

If you are coming out of the Caribbean however, there is always that issue of stigma. Because so few people from the Caribbean match into child neurology, I could not put as extensive a list together as I hoped, but I can offer the list of places that gave me the opportunity to interview. Without further ado, these are the programs that gave little old St. Maarten me a shot: -Tufts Medical Center Program (Boston, MA) -University of Mississippi Medical Center Program (Jackson, MS) -St. Louis University School of Medicine Program (St Louis, MO) -Duke University Hospital Program (Durham, NC) -Wake Forest University School of Medicine Program (Winston-Salem, NC) -SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn Program (Brooklyn, NY) -University at Buffalo Program (Buffalo, NY) -Cleveland Clinic Foundation Program (Cleveland, OH) -St. Proshivka aiwa 32le6020.

Christopher's Hospital for Children Program (Philadelphia, PA) -Medical University of South Carolina Program (Charleston, SC) -University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (Houston, TX) -> MATCHED -University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School Program (Austin, TX) -University of Virginia Program (Charlottesville, VA) Obviously the above programs are some of the best pediatric programs in the country so your 2 years of general peds training is extremely strong. And what most people don't realize is. If for some reason you have a change of heart and want to stay general pediatrics, no one is going to force you to finish 5 years of child neuro. You can finish off as a categorical pediatric resident, and coming from the Caribbean and ending up at program like these- I'd say you did very well for yourself. I ended up ranking 18 programs and UT-Houston was actually third on my rank list.

I had a hard time deciding between UT, UVA, Duke, SLU for my top spot and on multiple occasions each had seen #1, but by the time my rank list was due, I had settled for UVA first, Duke second, and UT-Houston third. I could not be happier with the way things turned out. My best advice to you is to enjoy as much life as you can while you're off residency. If you aren't confident in your presentation skills or note writing, I recommend asking to rotate somewhere to sharpen these two skills because its essential as an intern for an easier transition.
