About this program
The University of Kentucky Department of Neurology offers a calendar-month observership running from the first to the last day of each month. Applicants choose between two tracks, Adult Neurology and Child Neurology, and submit the corresponding Qualtrics request form. The department reviews requests weekly and commits to returning a decision within four weeks of submission, which makes planning around visa and travel windows relatively predictable. Neither USMLE nor ECFMG status is discussed on the page, and the department does not explicitly advertise visa sponsorship, LOR support, or a completion certificate, so any IMG using this rotation as USMLE-credibility support will need to confirm those elements directly with [email protected] before committing.
