The Neurology residency program at Cooper University Hospital offers a great environment for future Neurologists to train. Residents are exposed to patients with erse neurological disorders and socioeconomic backgrounds under the supervision of enthusiastic faculty with broad clinical interests. The unique atmosphere provides a strong emphasis on clinical neurology, yet also provides abundant exposure to basic science and research that enable the graduating resident to explore careers in academics, research, clinical practice or to continue into subspecialty training. The program has recently been awarded 5-year accreditation by the ACGME, attesting to the high quality educational content.

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.
