Year Three Curriculum

In the third year of residency, training is based primarily at Sanford Health Medical Center in Fargo, N.D. A key feature of this year is a consecutive three-block rotation in pediatric neurology at Sanford USD Medical Center and Hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D., offering in-depth experience in the care of younger patients. Throughout the year, residents also spend a half-day each week in the Neurology Continuity Clinic, where they continue building continuity in patient care and further develop their own patient panels.
