Our program boasts specialists in the various neurological subspecialties, each with their own approach to patient care, education and research.   Active participation of this faculty in the department lends strength to educational and clinical activities.  Each resident is assigned a faculty advisor who is responsible for helping the resident with research and with preparation for a grand rounds presentation at the end of their third year.  In addition, a required research project for third year residents is part of our curriculum.

Research and publication are desirable components of the educational process and there is ample opportunity through elective rotations at the UConn affiliated hospitals for residents interested in research.  Some examples of what our residents have published in peer review journals or presented at national subspecialty conferences or regional professional meetings are listed below:
