National Capital Area Consortium (NCC) Neurology Residency Program
The NCC Neurology Residency Program formed in 1996 with the consolidation of separate residency programs in Neurology at National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) and Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC). These two hospitals are the primary teaching hospitals. The NCC Neurology Residency is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. This residency program takes advantage of the large patient base and broad Neurology subspecialty expertise located within both hospitals. The residency program also takes advantage of the close proximity of several distinguished institutions to include the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Residents rotate through each of these institutions. Our goals are: 1) To offer residents training in Neurology second to none ensuring adequate preparation to pass board certification exams 2) To nurture a caring, compassionate attitude toward patient care 3) To prepare military officers to meet the challenging needs of military operational forces. Applicants for residency must be either currently on active duty in the United States military or about to come on active duty through programs such as the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). The residency is three years in length beginning with the PGY-2 year (year beginning after internship). We typically take five residents per year group. Call during the PGY-2 year is typically one night in five in-house call at WRAMC. During the PGY-3 and 4 years, call is taken from home and is typically one night in ten covering both WRAMC and NNMC.
