Residency in Neurology (REU)
Today, neurological disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of problems with the central and peripheral nervous system. The incidence of these disorders is increasing significantly in Mexico because of the inversion of the population pyramid and an increase in life expectancy. Neurodegenerative diseases present the greatest growth among the different disorders because they have age as an important risk factor. In addition, cerebral vascular disease is the third cause of death in Mexico and an important cause of morbidity. It results in high economic costs because of the rehabilitation and social reinsertion it implies (INEGI 2010). To face these challenges, Mexico needs neurological healthcare professionals who are committed to a society that demands quality medical attention and humanistic professionals, in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this group of pathologies. The Residency in Neurology responds to this need to train healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge to make a real contribution. Since its origins, it has been a program focused on training, continuing education and face-to-face innovative teaching, taking into consideration that neurology is one of the branches of medicine that has grown the most over the past decade, both on a diagnostic level and with regard to new lines of basic and clinical research, in the quest to find novel treatments. The Multicentered Residency in Neurology of Tecnológico de Monterrey is staffed by academic personnel and infrastructure of the highest quality. It is an educational model based on excellence and competencies centered on the patient, offered by successful professionals who are experts in teaching, both clinical and experimental. As a result, the participants in the program have all the leading-edge humanistic, technological and methodological support they need to develop their potential and, therefore, stand out regionally, nationally and internationally. This program is directed to those healthcare professionals who wish to do post-graduate training in clinical neurology.
