About the Program

University of Rochester Medical Center Behavioral Neurology: The majority of the clinical time will be in the Memory Care Program which is a multidisciplinary memory care clinic and includes providers from psychiatry, behavioral neurology, neuropsychology, geriatrics and psychology. Additional longitudinal clinical experiences will include geriatric psychiatry, neuropalliative care and movement disorders. Fellows also have dedicated academic time during which didactic lectures on cognitive and behavioral topics will be provided along with a journal club and evidence based medicine educational program. It is during the academic time that the fellow will complete a quality improvement or research project or research project for those fellows interested in an research career. For fellows interested in pursuing an academic career, they will be encouraged to apply for the Department of Neurology’s Experimental Neurotherapeutics Fellowship which would allow for a second year of fellowship focused on developing skills to succeed in clinical research.
