We are excited to share our passion for pediatric neurology with you. Our team includes a diverse group of child neurologists with expertise spanning epilepsy, neuroimmunology and demyelinating disease, headache medicine, neurogenetics, leukodystrophy, sleep, and neonatal neurology, all united by a commitment to excellent clinical care, education, and research. Residents train closely with supportive faculty who are deeply invested in mentorship and career development, within a highly collaborative environment that includes neurosurgery, neuroradiology, psychiatry, genetics, and more—providing a well-rounded, team-based approach to neurologic care. Training takes place in dedicated, well-resourced pediatric settings with exposure to a wide range of conditions, from common to complex. Beyond the hospital, Sacramento offers an exceptional quality of life, combining vibrant city living with easy access to outdoor destinations like Napa and Lake Tahoe, making it an ideal place to train and live.
During Fall 2026, we will be interviewing for two residents to begin in July 2027 (PGY-1) as part of our combined 5-year Pediatrics/Child Neurology training program. We look forward to meeting applicants who are passionate about child neurology and excited to grow within a collaborative and well-rounded training environment!

It is a privilege to serve as the Associate Program Director (APD) for our outstanding residency program.
