Clerkship Program
The HMS Neurology Clerkships (Core and Advanced) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) are under the direction of Dr. Jeremy Schmahmann. The goals of the clerkships are to instruct medical students in the core competencies of clinical neurology, instilling an understanding of essential clinical neuroscience, and promoting professionalism through patient care and methods of teaching and assessment that are active, interactive and innovative.

Fellowship Program
MGH Neurology is proud to offer one of the most comprehensive fellowship programs available in the country. Successful applicants in our fellowship programs have all completed top residency programs. We provide all fellows with access a wealth of clinical material, and they interact with world-class clinicians and researchers, providing a tremendous opportunity to become exposed to all aspects of their specialty of interest. Graduates of our fellowship programs have been extremely successful in both academic and private practice careers. We currently offer the following ACGME-approved fellowship programs:
- Critical Care / Stroke Neurology
- Clinical Neurophysiology - EMG / Neuromuscular Disorders
- Neuro-Oncology
- Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology
- Pediatric Epilepsy and Clinical Physiology
- Epilepsy and Neurobiology
We also have available several comprehensive one- and two-year fellowship opportunities in the following specialties:
There are also many research fellowships available. Please email mghneurology@partners.org to inquire.
Residency Program
The Partners Neurology Residency Program was formed as a result of a merger in 1994 by two of the premier teaching hospitals of Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospitals (BWH) to form Partners HealthCare Inc. Neurology Departments and residency programs were among the first of the clinical services to consolidate.
The Neurology programs of these two hospitals have played a vital role in the development and maturation of academic Neurology. In addition to providing the highest quality neurologic health care, each has long been committed to advancing the understanding and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. The training of neurologists has been the centerpiece of these two departments. In the joint Partners residency program the superior clinical and neuroscientific resources of the two major institutions are combined to provide a uniquely rich experience in Neurology for the highly motivated trainee. Please explore the Partners Neurology Residency Program website for further information on the history, current curriculum, application process, organization, hospitals and resources.
Residency Program - Child Neurology
The Child Neurology Residency Training Program at Massachusetts General Hospital provides a unique opportunity for highly motivated clinician scientists to learn state of the art approaches to the diagnosis, management and understanding of the spectrum of neurologic and pediatric diseases that affect the developing brain. Emphasis is placed on excellence of patient care, acquisition of superior clinical skills and sophisticated understanding and utilization of current DNA diagnostic, electrophysiological, neuropathologic and radiographic techniques. Individuals are encouraged to strengthen their clinical and scientific skills in order to further develop and apply such technology as a means of advancing the field and creating the next generation of clinician scientists.
Other Training
The Neurology Service at MGH no longer offers observership opportunities. Current Neurology residents from other institutions and Medicine residents interested in doing an election rotation at either MGH or BWH can e-mail Vanya Sagar for information. Current US or foreign medical students wishing to participate in a rotation should contact Marygrace Neal for MGH and Dr. Tracey Milligan for BWH.
