Class of 2025 Graduation

Congratulations to the Adult and Child Neurology Residency Class of 2025! It was a pleasure to come together in June to celebrate this outstanding group of young neurologists, whose dedication, achievements, and teamwork have strengthened our department and enriched our community. As always, it was a night filled with well-deserved recognition, heartfelt reflections, and plenty of joy shared among family, friends, and colleagues. We are thrilled that most of this year’s graduates will remain at NYP/CUIMC—WCM for fellowship training, continuing to contribute their talents to our community.
