The Pediatric Neurology Training Program at CHEO, University of Ottawa is a five-year program. There are seven hours of formal organized mandatory teaching sessions/rounds per week. A variety of other organized teaching sessions/rounds are available through the Department of Pediatrics or Adult Neurology Division.
Transition to Discipline will consist of training to provide an introduction to necessary skills for a pediatric neurology resident including taking a neurologic history and performing a neurologic examination, identifying critically ill patients and written and verbal communication. This will be accomplished through clinical rotations in pediatrics and pediatric neurology.
Foundations training is designed to allow the acquisition of the basic neurologic knowledge essential for a practicing Pediatric Neurologist. This will include pediatric neurology ward and clinic rotations as well as clinical exposures to pediatric intensive care, neonatal intensive care, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, child psychiatry, developmental pediatrics, palliative care and other pediatric subspecialties.
Core training is designed to allow residents to become experts in the breadth of neurologic conditions and their management. This will include pediatric neurology ward and clinic rotations with graded responsibility as the resident progresses. Residents will have rotations in adult neurology (including stroke service), neurophysiology (EMG and EEG), neuroradiology and neuro-ophthalmology.
Transition to Practice is designed to allow residents to consolidate their knowledge and to prepare them for practice following graduation. This will include pediatric neurology ward service in the role of a junior attending as well as ongoing outpatient clinic experience.
Research projects (basic science, clinical, quality improvement) and presentations are expected each year.
Seminars
During the first year, the residents participate in neurology summer series, followed by pediatric neurology half day beginning in September. For the second, third, fourth and fifth year, they participate in the combined adult and pediatric neurology academic half-day as well as a dedicated pediatric neurology half day each week.
