Thank you
for considering OUHSC as the next step in your medical journey! Our Neurology
Residency Program is rooted in a tradition of clinical excellence, educational
innovation, and genuine collegiality. We take pride in cultivating a learning
environment that not only trains exceptional neurologists but also inspires
curiosity, growth, and lifelong leadership.
At the heart
of our program is a deep commitment to mentorship and education. We believe
outstanding training begins with strong, supportive relationships between
faculty and residents. Our attending physicians are not only leaders in their
fields—they are dedicated educators who are passionate about teaching and take
an active role in shaping the next generation of neurologists. Many have chosen
to be here specifically because of the opportunity to work closely with
residents in a hands-on, collaborative setting.
A
cornerstone of our training philosophy is progressive autonomy. From day one,
residents are guided by experienced mentors who provide robust support as they
build their clinical acumen. Over time, that foundation evolves into greater
responsibility and independence, ensuring that each graduate is confident,
capable, and well-prepared for any career path—whether in academics,
subspecialty practice, or community neurology. Our graduates routinely match
into prestigious fellowship programs across the country, a testament to the
strength of our training and the caliber of our residents.
Our clinical
training is both comprehensive and diverse. Residents gain exposure to the full
spectrum of neurologic conditions across multiple training sites, including OU
Medical Center, the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, OU Children’s Hospital,
and OU Physicians outpatient clinics—all conveniently located on a single,
connected campus. From acute stroke and neurocritical care to outpatient
subspecialty clinics in epilepsy, movement disorders, neuromuscular disease,
and neuroimmunology, our program offers a rich array of patient care
experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
We also
understand that quality of life matters. Oklahoma City is a dynamic and
welcoming place to live, offering the rare combination of affordability,
convenience, and culture. With a low cost of living, short commutes, and an
active community, our residents enjoy the time and space to pursue personal
interests outside the hospital. Whether it's exploring the city's award-winning
food scene, catching an NBA game (Thunder Up!), enjoying miles of biking and
running trails, or attending cultural festivals and concerts, OKC offers
something for everyone.
Perhaps most
distinctively, our program and our city embody the “Oklahoma Standard”—a
culture of resilience, kindness, and service. It’s a spirit you’ll find
throughout our hospitals, clinics, and community—a shared sense of purpose and
support that defines who we are and how we care for one another.
We’re
excited to share more about our program and what makes OUHSC Neurology such a
unique and supportive place to train. We look forward to welcoming future
residents who are passionate about learning, committed to personal and
professional growth, and ready to make a meaningful impact within our program,
the field of neurology, and the communities we serve.
