Are you looking to get into the child neurology residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which child neurology programs have the highest and lowest publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about child neurology or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming a child neurologist.

Which Child Neurology Residency Programs Require the Most Research?

As discussed previously, matched child neurology applicants have moderate numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.

But how many publications are expected of each child neurology residency? Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the program that’s right for you.

Let’s look at which child neurology residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here reports the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)

Child Neurology residency name	City	State	Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants	Average number of research experiences among matched applicants	# current residents who were graduates of joint MD-PhD program	% current residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs	% matched applicants members of Alpha Omega Alpha (at the time of application)	% matched applicants members of Gold Humanism Honor Society (at the time of application)	Program curriculum includes a dedicated research rotation	% completed residents with non-academic U.S. practice career plans	% completed residents with plans to continue training in another program	% completed residents with plans to obtain a full-time or part-time academic position	% completed residents with other career plans	Total # Residents on Duty

What Are the Most Research-Heavy Child Neurology Programs?

Here are the child neurology programs with the highest average publications among matched applicants:

Wake Forest University School of Medicine Program
Spectrum Health/Michigan State University Program
University of Puerto Rico Program
University of Alabama Medical Center
Yale-New Haven Hospital Program
Twenty-one programs with 50 or more

What Are the Least Research-Heavy Child Neurology Programs?

Here are the child neurology programs with the lowest average publications among matched applicants:

Nationwide Children’s Hospital/Ohio State University Program (3 average publications)
University of Utah Health Program (4 average publications)
Ten programs with three average publications
Eleven programs with four average publications

Which Child Neurology Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?

Are you hoping to get into a child neurology residency program? Having an MD-PhD may help you stand out, but it’s not always necessary.

As noted previously, having an MD-PhD is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into child neurology as a specialty. Note that this is a relatively small advantage (~3% match rate increase for those with a PhD vs. those without).

Check out this list of child neurology residency programs in the US and their MD-PhD percentages.

Child Neurology Programs with the Highest Percentage of MD-PhDs

Here are the child neurology programs with the highest reported% of residents who were graduates of MD-PhD programs:

Stanford Health Care-Sponsored Stanford University Program (44%)
Baylor College of Medicine Program (41%)
UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine/UCLA Medical Center Program (40%)
University of California (San Diego) Medical Center Program (33%)
Johns Hopkins University Program (33%)
Children’s Hospital/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School Program (33%)
Rutgers Health/New Jersey Medical School Program (33%)
McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University Program (22%)

Child Neurology Programs with the Lowest Percentage of MD-PhDs

While having an MD-PhD can give you a leg up on matching into child neurology, note that there are many (many) programs without an MD-PhD among their residents. In fact, there were only 16 programs that reported having any graduates from MD-PhD programs.

Which Child Neurology Programs Have the Most AOA and Gold Humanism Honor Society Members?

Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) memberships are two important factors in the child neurology residency matching process. AOA recognizes students and residents who excel academically, in leadership, and in professionalism, while GHHS recognizes individuals who show exceptional qualities in patient-centered care and humanism.

As noted before, AOA membership is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into child neurology.

Here we list the US child neurology residency programs and the% of their residents who were AOA or GHHS members. Note you can search for individual programs, sort the data, and many other useful things in your child neurology residency search.

Child Neurology Programs with the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members

The child neurology residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:

University of Colorado Program
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Program
Stanford Health Care-Sponsored Stanford University Program
Johns Hopkins University Program
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Program

The child neurology residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:

Phoenix Children’s Hospital Program
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Program
UPMC Medical Education Program
Baylor College of Medicine Program

Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive Child Neurology Residency Programs?

As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into a child neurology residency program.

For example, the Harvard child neurology program only had 16% of its residents with AOA memberships and only 23% with GHHS memberships. (The Harvard child neurology program is Children’s Hospital/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School Program).

So, why might some of the most competitive child neurology residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.

Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into a child neurology residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.

Concluding Thoughts

Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into child neurology. However, as we can see, different child neurology residency programs have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
