Post-MD Training and Board Certification in Neurology

Overview

A structured national post-MD route to specialist Board Certification, rather than a short international fellowship vacancy. The university's current course catalogue lists the pathway and its prospectus. Entry, allocation and overseas placement must be agreed through PGIM. The linked 2021 amendment changes local rotation details but retains the three-year duration.
