Clinical experience
As in all residency training, learning clinical skills tends to revolve around patients seen in our clinics and admitted to our hospitals.
Neurology service and Consultation service patients are seen daily. Mentoring occurs at several levels with primary educators including General Inpatient service attending neurologist, Vascular Service attending Neurologist, Consultation attending neurologist, Elective supervising neurologist, and Chief & senior residents.
Longitudinal experience
PGY-1 to PGY-4 Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Longitudinal Outpatient Neurology Clinic
All residents participate in a continuity clinic one to two afternoons per week, depending on their current rotation. Continuity clinic is held Monday through Thursday from 1 to 4 pm and is scheduled only during outpatient or elective rotations. Residents do not attend continuity clinic while on inpatient rotations, such as General Neurology, Vascular Neurology, Consults, and Night-Float.
To provide a consistent educational experience, the continuity clinic is staffed by dedicated faculty preceptors who work regularly with residents. This continuity allows faculty to provide ongoing mentorship, individualized teaching, and meaningful feedback throughout residency.
