In the clinic, residents become proficient at:
- Botulinum Toxin and other headache injections
- VNS and DBS programming

Continuity clinic starts in July PGY2 and continues weekly throughout residency. Our residents see both new consults/referred patients as well as patients they select to follow after discharge from an inpatient service.

Our residents are the doctors and establish lasting therapeutic and rewarding relationships with their patients while gaining experience managing chronic neurologic problems.
