Yale Neurology Residency
Continuity
Clinics Longitudinal care is an important component of a physician's treatment of patients. This skill is acquired during the Residency Program through a continuity clinic. Each resident in the Residency Program will have a continuity clinic that meets on average ½ day per week. There are continuity clinics at the VAMC that meet on Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, and Friday afternoon. Each resident will go to an average of one of these clinics each week, even when they are on non-VA rotations. Patients assigned to the resident in these clinics become the primary responsibility of that resident. The resident, with supervision by the assigned attending, will perform all aspects of neurological care for those patients, including follow-up care and problems that arise between visits, other than acute admission to the hospital. Night coverage for these outpatients is generally shared between residents.
