Application Process

At the present time, all positions in our program are filled.  We encourage you to apply for the next available neurology positions (PGY-2) which will begin July 1, 2014 and will be included in the 2013 NRMP Match for Neurology.  Applications for these positions must be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) by October 15, 2012.  Applications submitted to ERAS after that date may not be accepted or reviewed.

Adult Neurology Residency training requires a preliminary year of Internal Medicine in addition to the three years of neurology training.
Applications for the preliminary year in Internal Medicine must also be independently submitted through ERAS, regardless of requesting to match through either the advanced or categorical tracks of the NRMP.

JOHNS HOPKINS NEUROLOGY TRAINING TRACKS

• Advanced: This 3 year PGY2-4 training experience (the NRMP “advanced” track) is the most common way applicants apply to the Johns Hopkins Neurology Residency Program.  Selecting this track in the NRMP represents an application to the Johns Hopkins neurology residency only.  If applicants also wish to complete a preliminary year at Johns Hopkins, we encourage applicants to also apply independently to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Internal Medicine preliminary program and/or the Johns Hopkins Hospital Osler preliminary programs in ERAS.  Although many applicants who wish to complete their preliminary year at Johns Hopkins match for their preliminary year at Johns Hopkins, these preliminary year slots are not guaranteed and thus applicants are also strongly encouraged to apply to other programs for their preliminary year.
• Categorical: This training track includes the 3 year neurology training program linked to a guaranteed preliminary internal medicine year in The Johns Hopkins Bayview Internal Medicine program.  Nevertheless, an applicant who applies to this program through the categorical track must still apply for the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Preliminary Program through ERAS.  If you choose the categorical option, we encourage you to ALSO apply through the Advanced option.  Applicants who also select the Advanced Option may  match with the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Preliminary Program for slots that are "unlinked" to our program.  In general applicants are encouraged to apply to both the Advanced and Categorical training tracks to optimize their chances of obtaining both their preliminary and neurology training at Johns Hopkins.  Only those applicants who would not consider the Johns Hopkins Neurology residency program unless preliminary training at Johns Hopkins was absolutely guaranteed should apply solely to the Categorical program. 
  >There is no categorical option available for the Johns Hopkins Hospital Osler Internal Medicine program.
  >Applicants wishing to complete their Neurology training at Johns Hopkins, but their preliminary year at a program other than Johns Hopkins should apply only to the Advanced track.

INTERVIEWS

• ERAS applications will be reviewed by our residency selection committee and we will begin contacting prospective candidates regarding interviews by mid-October.   Around this time, we strongly urge you to check daily both e-mail and voice mail for messages regarding interviews.  Our preferred method of communication will be e-mail.
• Our interview dates are as follows:
          Thursday, November 15, 2012
          Thursday, November 29, 2012
          Thursday, December, 13, 2012
          Thursday, January 10, 2013
  
• We will provide accommodation in a nearby hotel the night prior to the interview.  We encourage arrival by mid-afternoon the day before (Wednesday) as the current residents host a dinner party Wednesday evening to introduce you to the program.  A full day program on Thursday will include information sessions, tours of the hospital, meetings with faculty and residents, and a reception at the end of the day for informal conversations.  We understand that travel arrangements may make attendance at the Wednesday evening event difficult and thus your attendance is not required, however we encourage your participation as it is usually a fun way to relax with our current residents and ask questions in a casual environment.
• If you are selected to interview for the Hopkins Neurology Residency program, we can also assist in making arrangements for you to interview for your preliminary year in our Internal Medicine programs.
