New Chief Residents Announced

“It is with great pride and honor that I announce the appointment of Erin Barnes, M.D. and Brent Silver, M.D. as our chief residents for the academic year 2020-2021. With a PGY3 class full of outstanding clinicians and teachers, it was a difficult task to choose only two residents to serve as future chief residents.

The Chiefs epitomize our core values of exceptional patient care, teaching, mentorship and service, with the ultimate goal of providing the most enriching training environment available to the 21 Adult Neurology residents and 2 Pediatric Neurology residents.

Please join me in congratulating Erin and Brent and welcoming them into the residency program leadership!”
