Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No, categorical applicants should only apply to the Child Neurology Program. Categorical applicants will automatically match for both pediatrics (two years) and child neurology (3 years) at Duke.
To make the interview process as convenient as possible, interviews for both programs are done on a single interview day. Please see interview dates above. Virtual interview blocks will be offered either in the morning or in the afternoon to best accommodate your time zone.
We invite highly qualified individuals from medical schools outside the United States and Canada to apply for residency at Duke University. One of the three required letters of recommendation must be from the physician supervising the internal medicine or pediatrics clerkship in the United States or Canada. Other letters of recommendation should be from individuals familiar with the applicant's work. We sponsor J-1 visas for international child neurology residents.
