a message from our directors

In 1994, two of the premier teaching hospitals of Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General (MGH) and Brigham and Women's Hospitals (BWH), merged to form Partners HealthCare Inc. The Neurology Departments and residency programs were among the first of the clinical services to consolidate.

With this merger, two of the greatest neurology departments in the country were brought together, creating a residency that brings the rich educational and research experiences from both hospitals to the fingertips of the residents. The Neurology programs of these two hospitals have played a vital role in the development and maturation of academic neurologists. In addition to providing the highest quality neurologic health care, each has long been committed to advancing the understanding and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. The training of neurologists in the residency program has been the centerpiece of these two departments. In the joint Harvard BWH-MGH residency program, the superior clinical and neuroscience resources of the two major institutions combine to provide a uniquely rich experience...
