Neurology
School of Medicine

Established in 1997, the Residency Program in Neurology is offered by the School of Medicine at the University of Insubria.

The five-year program is designed to train medical doctors in the various fields of Clinical Neurology, and requires 800 hours/year divided into formal and informal teaching and full-time supervised clinical activities at the main Hospital (Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi) and in other authorized Departments of Neurology linked to the school for teaching and research purposes.

The residents learn various diagnostic activities: emergency room, first and second level inpatient and outpatient care, electrodiagnostic activities (EEG, EMG, Evoked potentials), neuroradiology (CT, NMR), neuropsychology, neuropathology. The training in clinical activities is organized so that the resident will develop extensive clinical and diagnostic skills that can be performed without supervision. Additionally, the residents learn the basic instruments and methodology for clinical research.

The degree is granted after the completion of the annual tests (theoretical and practical) and after the formal defense of a thesis, based on the resident’s personal research approved by the official committees.
