Additional Opportunities at UVa
The University offers different types of extended and post-graduate options for your residency experience:
Chief Residency
During the middle of their second year of residency, two individuals are chosen to stay on an additional (fourth) year as Chief Residents. In this role, they have the opportunity to help supervise first-year residents while gaining invaluable leadership experience in a clinical setting.
Pediatrics/Child Neurology Residency Program
This five-year combined program merges the strengths of our pediatric department with our highly respected neurology staff. After your first two years of pediatric residency, you will spend one year learning about adult neurology. Your last two years in the program will focus on the specialized discipline of child neurology. For more information on this program, see the Child Neurology Residency Training program overview.
