NYU Langone’s Department of Neurology offers a three-year, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited neurology residency program. We accept 12 residents per year into the Manhattan track of our adult neurology residency program. In addition, we offer a varying number of one-year preliminary internal medicine spots, should you choose to complete your preliminary year of internal medicine at NYU Langone. This program is known as the Joint A/P Program in Neurology. It can be selected at the time that you submit your rank list to the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP), also known as The Match. The NRMP code for each track is as follows:

• Advanced Neurology Program NRMP: 2978180A0
• Joint A/P Program in Neurology NRMP: 2978140P1
• Non-Joint Preliminary Program in Neurology NRMP: 2978140P0

No additional interviews are needed for the medicine preliminary programs in Manhattan and Brooklyn when ranking them with the Advanced Neurology Program.
