Neurology Residency Training Program
Preliminary Year
All residents must successfully complete a preliminary medicine internship meeting the standards of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. The University of Michigan offers three options through the National Residency Match Program to provide flexibility and peace of mind for your required intern year.
5 Categorical Positions
5 of the 6 slots for which are recruiting are categorical positions, meaning they come with a coupled preliminary medicine internship.
- 3 are coupled with an internship at the University of Michigan Department of Internal Medicine.
- 2 are coupled with an internship at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital (SJMH). "St. Joe's" is an excellent community hospital in Ann Arbor.
Both U of M and St. Joe's provide excellent clinical training in internal medicine. There are differences between the two programs, of course, but residents coming through both programs have been equally well-trained.
1 Advanced Position
We also offer 1 advanced position, which means it is not coupled with a matched internship. Candidates ranking the advanced program will also need to rank preliminary medicine programs separately, in their order of preference. This is a great option for candidates who are hoping to do their internship somewhere other than Ann Arbor. Please note also that candidates who rank our advanced program option are still eligible to match into an internship at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, but applicants who are interested in this option are encouraged to arrange a formal interview at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital
Applying and Ranking
You do not have to apply separately or interview separately to match into our categorical or advanced programs.
When filling out your rank order list, you can include any combination of these options, in your order of preference.
