What I like about our residency program: I was looking for a close-knit program that offered an excellent education and great mentorship. SLU met all these criteria and more! There is a great sense of support and community—everybody here has been so welcoming and friendly. Plus, there’s a good mix of bread-and-butter general neurology as well as rare pathology. Teaching is a priority and on my interview day I could see that SLU takes resident education very seriously. I feel that this program will give you all the tools necessary to be successful in the field.
What I like about St. Louis: St. Louis is a big city that feels like a small town. Each neighborhood has its own vibe and fair share of amazing restaurants. Many of the attractions are free and there are so many parks to enjoy. My husband and I are constantly discovering fun things to do!
