Neurology Residency Program

Cardiovascular Disease FellowshipThe Neurology residency program consists of 3 residents per year. As this program is very young, our first class of 3 residents joined us in July 2009. We have also filled all 3 spots to begin training July 2010 with highly-ranked candidates and therefore anticipate a full complement of 9 total Neurology residents beginning July 2011.

Our State-of-the-art hospital provides training facilities for several other residency programs including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Ob-Gyn, Emergency Medicine, Dermatology, Radiology and Anesthesiology as well as numerous medical fellowships.

We are a core clinical campus of the UMDNJ–Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Cooper University Hospital has also entered into an affiliation with Rowan University to establish a 4 year medical school. Cooper residents will actively participate in education of medical students as part of their curriculum.

We adhere strictly to ACGME rules on caps for the number of patients covered by interns and residents. House officers have primary care responsibility; attendings serve to supervise and teach. House officers on the inpatient service will cover the stroke unit, the Video-EEG epilepsy unit and patients on the general Neurology service. The resident on the consult service will evaluate patients in the emergency department, intensive care units and patients admitted to other medical/surgical services.

What makes Cooper a great place to train?

  • All of our Neurology inpatients are cared for by attending faculty
    Neurologists. This ensures close supervision and interaction of
    attending physicians and house staff and excellent bedside teaching.
  • An accessible full-time faculty dedicated to teaching and patient care.
  • Emphasis on ambulatory care and the office practice of Neurology.
    Our residents spend significant time in ambulatory settings, which
    will prepare them for life after residency.
  • An excellent, balanced mix of patients. Cooper is the only university
    hospital in southern New Jersey and hence receives a large number
    of tertiary referral patients.
  • Innovative educational programs like the OSCE for Clinical-Ethical
    Ability, Music in Medicine, and Literature and Medicine.
  • Non-teaching services to cover patients over the ACGME-RRC
    cap on teaching services.
