The Residency in Neurological Pediatrics is a clinical specialty focused on preventing, diagnosing, treating, rehabilitating and studying neurological disorders in children and adolescents in their different stages of growth and development, such as metabolic problems, malformations of the central nervous system, convulsive crises, and neuromuscular, motor, language, learning and other problems related to neurodevelopment.
The training of specialists in Pediatric Neurology is particularly relevant for the community because the neurological, pathological processes that are most prevalent in the population begin in infancy and adolescence or are characteristic of these phases, such as epilepsy (1.5%), learning and communication disorders (5 to 10%), infantile cerebral paralysis (5/1000), mental retardation, pervasive developmental disorders (autism) (1/125), congenital malformations, infections of the central nervous system, craneo-encephalitic trauma and other disorders. Approximately 33% of the population of Mexico is under 15 years old (INEGI 2003), but there are currently fewer than 200 pediatric neurologists in the nation. In fact, certain states have only one pediatric neurologist and others none at all.
Training as a pediatric neurologist in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences of Tecnológico de Monterrey offers the resident and future specialist many advantages: an academic program based on competencies, which emphasizes the knowledge, skills and techno-scientific abilities of the specialty, such as training people to act as agents of change and transformation in their communities and in their area of specialty; multidisciplinary formation based on neurology, pediatrics, neurodevelopment, neuropsychology and the basic neurosciences, such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, molecular genetics, neurochemistry, neuropathology and neuroimaging; a multicentered operating model, that has primary and secondary bases in different public and private hospitals; leading-edge, internationally competitive infrastructure and technology in the Zambrano Hellion Medical Center for training in the areas of neurorehabilitation, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neurosurgery and psychiatry, and interaction with neurological pathologies from the newborn to the adult stage; an innovative teaching-learning model, centered on the student and the patient and incorporating well-structured programs of research, medical education and ethics; and opportunities to experience other national and international academic models and medical attention within the field of specialty.
