The Pediatric Neurology Clinic at Children's Medical Center is an excellent experience seeing the overlap of pediatric neurology and psychiatry adding greater understanding of developmental disabilities, genetic and seizure disorders. Residents work under direct supervision of attending pediatric neurologists, directed by Michael Dowling, M.D.

This is a required rotation occurring in the second year at Children’s Medical Center. The rotation is ½ day per week for 2 ½  months. Residents see 2-5 cases per morning. They work closely with one of the five full-time pediatric neurology attendings. Cases are discussed in a group conference at the end of each clinic.

Residents are able to experience the overlap between pediatric neurology and psychiatry and assist neurology faculty in referral of patients that would benefit from psychiatric care. They have the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of developmental disorders, mental retardation and genetic disorders.
