Physicians at Center for Neurosciences
CNS PhysiciansA cornerstone of our program is our partnership with the Center for Neurosciences, one of Southern Arizona's leading neurology practices. Through this collaboration, residents gain extensive exposure to a broad range of neurological subspecialties, including neuroimmunology, neuro-oncology, neurophysiology, pediatric neurology, and general outpatient neurology. Working alongside experienced subspecialty faculty, residents participate in the evaluation and management of complex neurological conditions while benefiting from personalized mentorship and hands-on learning opportunities. This partnership enhances the breadth and depth of the educational experience, ensuring graduates are well prepared for independent practice or advanced fellowship training.
