MSU Neurology and Ophthalmology Residency and Fellowship Programs

Updated

The Michigan State University Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology lists one neurology residency program and six fellowship tracks on its Academics section, plus a separate ophthalmology residency consortium. If you are a medical student or resident looking for where to apply, the site organizes everything under Academics, with dedicated pages for the residency, each fellowship, and current/past trainee rosters.

Residency program

The department runs an ACGME-accredited neurology residency. According to the chair's message on the site, the program has a cohort of 20 residents.

Key pages to use:

  • Residency → Apply — the application entry point for the neurology residency.
  • Residency → Current Residents — who is currently in the program.
  • Residency → Past Residents — where previous graduates went.
  • Residency → Program Information — structure and details of the training program.

If you are applying, start with the Apply page and cross-check the Program Information page for what the residency expects and offers.

Fellowship programs

The site lists six fellowship options under Fellowships:

Fellowship Page location
Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Fellowships → Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship
Epilepsy Fellowship Fellowships → Epilepsy Fellowship
Interventional Neurology Fellowship Fellowships → Interventional Neurology Fellowship
Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship Fellowships → Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship
Vascular Neurology Fellowship Fellowships → Vascular Neurology Fellowship
Consortium of Osteopathic Residencies in Ophthalmology (CORO) Fellowships → CORO

Each fellowship also has a Current Fellows page and a Past Fellows page, so you can see who is training now and where former fellows have gone.

How to navigate the site for applications

  1. Open the department homepage and go to Academics.
  2. For the neurology residency, choose Residency, then Apply.
  3. For a subspecialty, choose Fellowships, then the specific fellowship (for example, Epilepsy Fellowship or Vascular Neurology Fellowship).
  4. Use Current Fellows / Past Fellows to gauge the program's track record before applying.
  5. For ophthalmology-oriented osteopathic training, go to the CORO page under Fellowships.

What else is on the Academics section

Beyond residency and fellowships, the Academics area also includes a Neurology Clerkship, Academic Website Links, and Student Electives — useful if you are a medical student arranging a rotation rather than applying for a full residency or fellowship.

Common sticking points

  • The site separates the neurology residency from the ophthalmology consortium (CORO); do not assume one application covers both.
  • Fellowship pages are individual, so check the specific fellowship you want rather than a single combined listing.
  • Application requirements and deadlines are not summarized on the homepage — go into the Apply page for the residency or the relevant fellowship page for details.
