Residents in the program benefit from training in the largest academic neurology department and tertiary medical center in the state of South Carolina with subspecialists in all areas of neurology. While many choose to stay for fellowships at MUSC, residents routinely match into top fellowship programs throughout the country. The residency program is well established and has many strengths to ensure the success of a new program director including:

• Department and college leadership who fully support graduate medical education
• Two associate program directors
• Two program coordinators
• Newly renovated large neuro-education suite
• Newly renovated neurology clinic space
• An opportunity to build an educational collaboration with King’s College in London
• An education first program where residents have the time and support to follow their passions

Already a strong program, the department of neurology is looking for a candidate to take the program to the next level and make it the destination program in the Southeast. Interested candidates should have experience in and passion for neurology education as well as an interest in innovation.
