Northwell Health’s Residency Training Program


Dr. Hemanth Rao is a longtime neurologist who serves The Neurological Institute in Charlotte, NC, as CEO. Prior to moving to Charlotte, NC, Dr. Hemanth Rao completed his residency at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, which is an academic and clinical hub of Northwell Health.

As part of its educational offerings, Northwell Health operates a residency training program focused on the specialty of neurology. The three-year program provides participants with the skills required to independently practice neurology and meets the training requirements of both the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. 

Residents in the program work alongside clinicians at several teaching sites, with each receiving extensive personal attention and gaining exposure both to the general neurology field and a range of sub-specializations, including movement disorders, epilepsy, strokes, and neuro-oncology, among others.

Beyond this, the residents participate in various rounds and conferences and engage in the program’s outpatient clinics, which simulate the private-practice setting and thus place the standards of care provided to patients as a priority.
