NYU Langone’s Department of Neurology offers a three-year Accreditation Council for its Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited neurology residency program. We accept 13 residents a 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 when you submit your rank list to the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP), also known as The Match. These are the NRMP codes for each track:

• Advanced Neurology Program NRMP: 2978180A0
• Joint A/P Program, Manhattan Prelim NRMP: 2978140P1
• Joint A/P Program, Long Island Prelim NRMP: 1455140P3

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

Advanced Neurology Program

This is for applicants interested in the three-year neurology residency program at NYU Langone Health in Manhattan. We accept 13 residents per year into this track.

If you are interested in the preliminary medicine year at NYU Langone, see the next section.

Joint A/P Program in Neurology

This is a one-year preliminary medicine (PGY-1) position. The NRMP match process for the Joint A/P Program only considers those applicants who have matched to the Advanced Neurology Program.

Separate internship spots at NYU Langone may be available through this program. An interview with the internal medicine program is not required. We accept several residents per year into this track.

Applications for all tracks are only accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). You submit a standardized application; letters of reference; the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), also known as a dean’s letter; transcripts; and other supporting documents through ERAS. We offer positions to applicants through the NRMP.
