The Neurology Residency Program at the Medical College of Georgia and Augusta University Health System aims to shape the careers of passionate young neurologists.

Our residency is based at a quaternary referral center; and our residents are exposed to a broad educational curriculum, excellent diverse patient care opportunities, and innovative neuroscience and translational research.

Our Neurology Faculty

Our program is often described as being infectious because of its collegial atmosphere as many of our attending physicians have trained at our facility at some point in their careers and have returned here to practice. 

Our Neurology Faculty

 We offer fellowships in vascular neurology, clinical neurophysiology, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and neuro-interventional neurology. Sleep medicine fellowship is offered through internal medicine.
