Neurology and the In-Service Self-Assessment fees are paid by the
Department. Meal tickets are provided when on rotation to Harlem Hospital.
Campus Recreation
Neurology residents have access to all University buildings,
both on the Health Science and Morningside Campuses. Physical fitness
centers at both the Health Sciences and Morningside Heights campuses
have ample gymnasia, swimming pools, weight rooms, squash and handball
courts, aerobics classes, and an indoor running track. Residents
also have access to either University or public tennis courts as
well as to jogging routes nearby in Riverside Park. Access to a
wide variety of cultural, intellectual, and entertainment activities
is an integral part of resident life on both campuses. The Health
Sciences campus is located in Washington Heights, near the northern
end of Manhattan Island. It overlooks the Hudson River, the George
Washington Bridge, the New Jersey Palisades, and midtown Manhattan.
The Morningside Heights campus is located on the Upper West Side
of Manhattan, a lively college neighborhood of bookstores and student
oriented restaurants. A 10-minutes free shuttle bus ride connects
the two campuses; subway and bus service provide alternative means
of transportation.
