Neurology is a field of medicine that deals with the management and treatment of various diseases in the brain, impaired function of the brain, brain trauma and injury, as well as the spinal cord and autonomic nervous system and related functions. Your Neurology Residency Personal Statement must accurately detail your passion, experience, goals and qualifications as they relate to the field to give the admissions committee a good idea of who you are as a person, as a professional, and as a potential Neurologist.

Neurology Residency is a moderately competitive program, and is generally regarded as “easy to match” to for those who have completed their MD program and have any additional research, experience, passion and qualifications specific to the field of Neurology. Whether you’re Canadian and applying through CaRMS , or American/International and using ERAS , your Personal Statement is an integral portion of your application and should highlight several aspects of your experiences, including your personal ties to the field, academic career, goals, values, and professional experience in this speciality that, when all considered in combination, make you stand out as a candidate for residency in the field of Neurology!

Firstly, you should always check to see what specific requirements are listed for your application. In general, most Personal Statement’s range from 750-850 words, and include the following details:

Optional: a brief explanation of any gaps or unfavorable grades. "}]">

Overall, your residency personal statement (regardless of which field you’re applying for residency) should, in only a few paragraphs, detail why you’d be a great fit, and why you’re dedicated to your chosen field.

Your Personal Statement should not include any irrelevant personal details, and it should not simply restate or list accomplishments that are readily available for review on your residency CV or additional portions of your application.

Additionally, if you do choose to address potential concerns, such as poor grades or gaps, it’s important that you do so in a genuine and concise manner, and don’t dwell on the problem, but rather, offer information about the lesson you learned, or details on how things have improved since the situation in question occurred.

Check out these examples of what to include in your residency personal statement:

“It's no secret that there are so many ways that our brains can fail us, but it's also true that when they're working properly, our brains are capable of amazing things. And, some people rely heavily on the dedication and care of brilliant neurologists in order for their brains to function well and allow them to be capable in their everyday lives.

Throughout various points in my medical program, I saw patients who defied the odds set in place for them, and many found their way out of seemingly impossible situations. In particular, during my recent elective in Neurology, I met a young man who was paralyzed due to a rare form of spinal stroke, and was told he would never speak or breath unassisted, move or walk again. With the help of the chief neurologist, after only a few weeks, he is now beginning to speak again, is breathing unassisted, and has shown that he is able to move his upper body. He had a positive outlook, despite his difficult situation, and the chief neurologist working with him—who I spent four weeks shadowing— matched his optimism in order to ensure his patient remained motivated, and did all that he could to present the patient and his family with the best treatment options available, and explain the intended outcome tied to each suggestion. These people and stories inspire me to keep working hard, learning more, and improving my own skills so that one day I can help patients in similar situations. I firmly believe that the broad field of neurology, combined with the expertise of a great neurologist, can help restore independence and quality of life in many cases, and sometimes, help patients achieve a quality of life or relief from various symptoms that they didn’t think was ever possible. What a rare and special opportunity it would be to provide that kind of care to a patient!

I first started thinking about becoming a neurologist when I was an undergrad student at X University. I had a long-time interest in neuroscience—but it wasn't until taking classes on brain disorders that the path became clear for me. In those courses it was clear how much work went into understanding these conditions: researchers had spent years studying them from every angle imaginable before forming any conclusions about how best to treat them. When I saw this kind of dedication from professionals who were already experts, it was clear to me that I had a long journey ahead of me, and I was elated to come to that realization.

Throughout my medical school journey, I completed various clinical rotations, and met many wonderful people, but I thrived the most with brain-trauma patients, traumatic injury patients, as well as dementia patients. I conducted patient interviews (neurology, emergency medicine and family medicine) and I assisted with exams, and took part in team discussions and shadowing opportunities. I also spent the past three years volunteering at a Retirement Residence in order to further explore my passion for neuroscience while simultaneously helping those with memory and cognitive issues. There, I was responsible for curating an activity schedule for the hobby room on the days that I volunteered—I often chose puzzles, crafts, music stations, and ‘baby/pet care’ stations— depending on each resident’s preferences and cognitive abilities, several of them found great joy in attempting an activity at each station.

During my latest clinical rotation, my superior and I, at times, did not see eye-to-eye, thus resulting in a slightly unfavorable score recorded on my transcript. However, from this experience I learned how to stick to my moral obligation as a medical professional, how to address my concern over potential misconduct in a more professional manner, and feel I came out of the experience far more observant and aware of expectations in the medical community. I have great respect for my supervising clinician and understand why the score was awarded, but I do not feel it accurately depicts my ability and passion as a future neurologist. We have since reconciled our differences and I understand the advice I was given; doctors are human beings, there is certainly room for human emotion and disagreement, but I know that there is a proper way to address any issues or concerns I have in the medical field.

It would be an honor and a privilege to complete my residency in the field of neurology. Working and learning alongside renowned professionals would provide me with a unique and beneficial learning experience I feel I can’t possible achieve elsewhere, and would send me down a path of success as I pursue a rewarding career as a dedicated, compassionate neurologist.”

When I was ten years old, I knew that I wanted to be a neurologist. That may sound like too young of an age to make such a concrete decision, but my certainty has remained unwavering throughout every professional and academic experience I’ve had. Prior to this age, I had loved the idea of helping people who were in pain and giving them a sense of relief, but my desire to not only work in medicine, but with the brain, only blossomed after my aunt was diagnosed with a brain tumor very unexpectedly at the age of 40. Next to my parents, she is my closest relative and she wouldn’t still be alive and thriving today if not for the incredible neurology team and surgeon at X Hospital.

Even after her benign tumor was successfully removed, my aunt suffered from various neurological impairments and related issues, such as Arthritis. Her neurologist, who met her for the first time after she’d collapsed and had a seizure and was discovered to have a tumor that required surgery, has continued to provide her with support, guidance, and exceptional care for the past 17 years…and he does so to each of his patients. And, throughout the past 17 years, I’ve had the pleasure of attending several appointments with her—which only helped my curiosity surrounding neurology flourish into determination to study in the field and to one day, become an expert who could help people like my aunt.

In high school, with both medicine and neurology in mind, I took as many science classes as possible, including biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry and physics. These classes helped me realize that the human body is an amazing thing—it's like a living machine! And, as incredible as the body is, I also learned what great number of things could go wrong, and what a skilled neurologist could help with. I also learned more about neurological disorders and brain trauma as a teen and become more fascinated with the human brain as time passed. Later on, in college, my passion for neurology grew when I took courses related to neuroscience and psychopharmacology. One of my favorite courses was one where we learned about how drugs affect our brains, which made me realize how important it is to have a good understanding of how our brains work before prescribing any medications. I had already seen my own family member navigate trial-and-error situations with medication, but it became cemented into my mind how very unique each and every single brain is, and what a strong (but delicate) organ it is. One medication may, in fact, not work for one patient, but could work brilliantly for another. I came to understand that this is important to consider and should be practiced throughout my future years in medicine. I knew then I’d not only address each patient with sincerity and respect, but would never accuse a patient of misunderstanding their symptoms of side effects, and would weigh all potential risks and options when considering prescribing a drug.

During my time in medical school, I have volunteered a few hours weekly to a local hospital providing medical care for homeless people in our area, which I thoroughly enjoy. This experience in particular taught me so much about compassion and empathy; it also made me more aware of how important it is for doctors to have these qualities when treating patients with complex medical conditions (like neurological disorders). Throughout medical school, I have also been fortunate to have had several opportunities to complete clerkship and elective components of my program and clinical rounds in public and private health settings, and work with wonderful patients of all ages, including pediatric and geriatric care, gynecology, and neurology. I came to notice that, no matter the age of the patient, neurology and the proper assessment of underlying or diagnosed neurological conditions is imperative, and that the same disorder can present itself uniquely among each patient. Some conditions are particularly mysterious and strenuous (both on the patient, and the doctor striving to make the correct diagnosis); learning about these conditions first-hand gave me adequate insight into the complex nature of neurology, and a further appreciation for the field.

I am excited about applying for this residency program because it will give me an opportunity to learn more about the field that has been so pivotal in my life, as both a hopeful future neurologist, and as a human being with compassion and with the desire to help people…like my aunt, as well as members of the community who need a neurologists’ help.”

“My interest in neurology developed when I was young, watching my grandparents battle Alzheimer's. They were a part of my life from birth until their deaths, and I watched them go from vibrant and active people who were always full of stories, to people who couldn't remember their own names or where they lived. Seeing them struggle with this debilitating disease terrified me initially, but as I grew to understand it and question the ‘unknowns’ surrounding Alzheimer’s, it made me determined to do whatever I could to help others avoid such a fate. Through growing to understand the cruel nature of this disease, I began to understand many diseases and came to realize that there was an entire field dedicated solely to the study of the brain, to brain injuries, to brain diseases and all other aspects of it. The day I discovered neurology was a pivotal moment in my academic and professional journey...even though I was only a young teen!

Along with having a long-time interest in neurology, I have also always been interested in medicine—it was my plan from day one. When I was younger, my family would joke that if I wasn't going into medicine, then maybe I’d become an actor who played a doctor, because all I ever did was dress up and ‘play doctor’ around my house. They quickly realized it wasn’t just a phase, or innocent fascination, but more of a calling, as I quickly grew from playing doctor to reading books, watching documentaries and analyzing every medical series on TV by the time I was fifteen. Those books, educational materials, and shows made me even more determined to pursue a career in medicine, especially when I realized there were inconsistencies in many of the TV dramas that took place in hospitals! I knew I wanted to study hard to achieve my dreams of becoming a doctor, and, I knew I wanted to specialize in a field that would benefit from every dedicated, intelligent mind working in it. I’ve had many great experiences during both my undergraduate and medical education so far. During my undergraduate years, I took courses in neuroscience and psychology, focusing on the brain and how it works. I also conducted research during my first year of my MD program with a professor who specialized in neuropsychology, studying how people process information differently depending on their life experience. This experience gave me a perspective into how neurology can be used to help patients understand themselves better as well as improve their lives through proper treatment, it also gave me perspective into how every brain is truly unique, and the importance of treating each patient with the same compassion, but with a ‘fresh lens’ and open mind. Through this research, I truly learned, and saw first-hand how injuries, trauma, diseases and even simple differences in upbringing and socioeconomic status can impact a person’s though process, and I believe this will help me greatly as I pursue neurology, as I’m not only understanding of the complexity of the human brain, but I’m compassionate and empathetic toward my patients, too. Since then, I have taken various courses in neuroimmunology in medical school, and began volunteering at an Alzheimer's Association chapter last year, both out of curiosity and interest in learning, and, as a way to feel closer to my late Grandparents. It has been an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience.

 My favorite experience in the medical field thus far, however, has been working one-on-one with patients in both the general neurology department (for interviews) and in oncology (pre and post-op examinations) during my rotations, getting to know their individual stories, and doing everything I can to make things better for them, or at the very least, put a smile on their face during a troubling time. Geriatric neurology and of course, the study of diseases that tend to affect senior populations, such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s, have always appealed to me the most, but I’ve recently found that pediatric and general neurology is just as interesting—whether or not I’d go on to specialize past general neurology isn’t something anyone can know for certain at this time—but whatever path I take as a future neurologist, I’d be thrilled to have the experience to learn alongside professionals who can help me become the best I can be, who can support me while I strive to reach my full potential as a neurologist and who, perhaps, will share a mutual passion for studying Alzheimer’s and related neurological disorders.”

ERAS and CaRMS do not include prompts, and this is why it’s important that you write the perfect personal statement that is specific to your chosen field, and outline the steps that you’ve taken to familiarize yourself with it!

Yes, it is. Your Personal Statement is a very important component of your residency application because it is your opportunity to share what makes you a qualified applicant worth consideration and express, in your own words, a bit about your personal and professional history as it pertains to neurology and your desire to pursue it. This is information that cannot be detailed on a CV, resume or transcript, so it’s vital that you approach your Personal Statement as a great opportunity to stand out.

Your CV exists to list and highlight your academic and professional achievements, so they are quite different. While you can certainly mention any relevant points included on your CV (such as a research publication or award you’ve won) in your Personal Statement, you should ensure that you do so briefly, and focus on explaining what makes you a great candidate for residency.

Neurology is considered to be ‘average’ in terms of competitiveness, as it is in demand and fairly easy to match in compared to other fields.

Your personal statement should include the following:

• A firm statement highlighting why you’re a good fit for neurology residency, including a bit about your background, passion and professional experience for context.
• Any brief description of personal ties you have to the field or specific hospital.
• Your professional goals and values.
• Any relevant details about your academic and/or professional achievements as they relate to the field.

It can vary (always double check what your application requirements are!) but in general, 750-850 words is considered to be the common length for Personal Statements!

You can certainly take the time and space to detail any noticeable gaps, or poor grades, in your Personal Statement—after all, it’s an opportunity to explain your shortcomings! However, you do not have to do so, and if you do, be sure to do so in a brief, concise manner that offers a positive take on a negative situation. For example, “I learned X as a result of [this particular experience that resulted in a gap]”.

I learned that the worst tragedies can be the most inspiring when I met Mr. C., during a neurology elective. His story unfolded as a young, successful businessman who became comatose right after a thunder-clap headache, a typical presentation of subarachnoid haemorrhage. But why did he have the bleed and where was the bleeding coming from? It did not take us long to figure it out—- a dissecting vertebral artery. I was actively involved and entrusted with great amount of independence, latitude, and responsibility in his care. Being a complete stranger to the country and their culture, I was overwhelmed by the patient who was on the verge of death. Yet, my hardship was minuscule when compared to Mr. C’s strong will to live which was repeatedly demonstrated on many occasions where we could have lost him. I was inspired to study more about his condition hoping to contribute to his care and I learned to deal with the emotional stress and frustration his family had by establishing good rapport and being there when they were in need of help. The team’s hard work paid off. Nothing was more inspiring than to see Mr . C nodding his head for the first time when I called out his name. The fact that he was just awake thrilled everyone out in the ICU. The experience of improving the lives of the most critically ill patients is truly euphoric and gratifying. I found my niche in neurology. Ultimately, it has been the neurology patients on my clinical rotations that reinforced my decision to become a neurologist. Although understanding the profoundly frustrating and depressing nature of some diseases in neurology, it hasn’t precluded me to immensely enjoy in these fields. Why do some people with facial palsy still smile at a joke? Why do some people only walk if you paint a perpendicular line in front of them? Why will one stroke in him destroy his ability to read while the other with the same stroke doesn’t have the same effect on his reading? Understanding how the brain works are infinitely complex. The intellectual challenges involved in answering these questions intrigued me. I love to tackle problems that my colleagues dismiss as too puzzling to contemplate. I view the arrival at a neurological diagnosis akin to completing the missing part of a jigsaw puzzle, a process that requires an analytical mind and meticulous eye, both qualities I prize and for which I strive. Analytic problem-solving skills do not in themselves make a great neurologist. I also realize how crucial it is to educate patients and spend the time needed to communicate to patients and their families about their illnesses which in turn gives me the opportunity to develop into an effective teacher. I am also impressed with the ability and the impact that a neurologist can have on the quality of life of many patients. Most patients can live a normal life and preserve their dignity and self-worth, a field where symptomatic treatments have significant importance. My experiences in neurology have enhanced my regard for research and advancement. I committed myself to investigate the epidemiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Newfoundland to elucidate trends linking to the high incidence in this province. This research opportunity has solidified my appreciation of the value of academic involvement and teamwork, and fortify my desire to contribute to the vibrant advancement of this specialty. I believe my personal character makes me an ideal match for neurology. Flourished when challenged, possessing great curiosity and dedication to patient care are some of my greatest attributes. I have a tremendous work ethic, which I have carried since childhood: diligent focused and driven for excellence in any task I undertake. I am both emotionally and professionally prepared for the high-stakes responsibility of being a neurology resident. I aspire to join a program that encourages the transformation of the industrious and ambitious medical student into a worthy neurologist who excels in his field of specialization, as well as an educator devoted to imparting his knowledge to a future generation of neurologists.

Neurology personal statement Sample 2

Choosing a specialty ultimately was an easy decision. I found every rotation to be rewarding both academically and personally, but I became most interested in and excited by patients that had neurological problems. I achieved a greater sense of satisfaction and enjoyment from delivering health care to these patients. Though medical school has given me concrete knowledge that will prepare me for this field, my life outside of school has prepared me in ways that can’t easily be measured. I remember the day after returning from school my family surrounded my unconscious uncle who was having seizures. I helplessly watched him in the chaos of my house with no one capable of helping him. The sad and worried faces of my grandparents are still fresh in my memory. As I grew older, I saw not only my uncle fighting with epilepsy but also many other people in my hometown suffering from debilitating neurological illnesses. The desire to make a difference in these peoples life has played a vital role to increase my inclination towards neurology. As a result I decided to pursue my career in neurology

During my final year of medical school I selected electives pertaining to neurology whenever possible. I applied myself diligently to gaining a foundation with which to localize neurological lesions and to formulate differential diagnoses. Learning as a student and then working as an intern in one of the largest hospitals in India entailed an incessant problem solving attitude, constant vigilance, and analytical skills. I valued the opportunity to talk to people, not only about their diseases but also about their lives. And it never ceases to amaze me that I learned as much from a patient’s history as I did from their lab tests and investigations. These experiences enriched my interpersonal and communication skills.

After my graduation, I worked as a resident physician at the Big clinic in Some Country for more than a year. Working here was very stimulating and enriched my skills, but I was still yearning for more knowledge. Shortly after I immigrated to U.S. in 2000, I started as a pharmacy technician followed by working with Dr.X in family practice. Firmly committed to a career in neurology, I started working as a medical assistant with neurologist Dr. Y. Working with Dr.Y I discovered many of the diagnostic and intellectual challenges of neurology; a skillful history and physical exam, a carefully formulated differential diagnosis, and the management of potentially debilitating disease. I received ample opportunity to review neuroanatomy, expand my knowledge base of underlying pathophysiologic processes of diseases, and learn new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities . Furthermore, after passing my board exams, I rotated for 12 weeks at the Comprehensive Health Services Clinic. Presently I am assisting Dr.B and Dr.J at University of Medicine, in a combined Psychiatry and Internal Medicine Clinical Research project, for prevention of depression during hepatitis C therapy .Working with these wonderful doctors taught me patience and diligence. I developed mental and physical stamina and learned to manage and execute multiple tasks. Here I realized that at the end of the day the most satisfying moment is to be able to cheer people up, and make a difference in patients life.

A career in neurology promises to be very rewarding. Because of new therapeutic modalities available to the modern clinician, the potentially incurable and debilitating disease that were once “diagnosed but not treated”, are now being treated. Furthermore, as our society’s elderly population grows larger with each passing year, the incidence of age related neurologic diseases, and the demand for well-trained neurologists, will increase accordingly. Thus, the neurologist is not only an integral component in today’s health care system, but will also be a key character in the health care systems of the future.

The primary focus of my career goals is active clinical practice and teaching. I desire training at a reputable academic facility with an accomplished faculty dedicated to education. In addition, I seek exposure to neurological research so that I may not only learn about existing knowledge but that I may contribute to the advancement of diagnostic ability and treatment of neurologic disease. Following residency, I plan to pursue clinical fellowship training and options for a career in academic medicine. What I bring to your residency program is a responsible, motivated, friendly, and enthusiastic person who is a great team player committed to excellence, intelligence, and personal initiative. Incorporating both the caring, personal, physician-patient relationship and the dynamic of continuous learning, Neurology is the profession I eagerly embrace. This is the best way I can harness my own talents and abilities for the benefit of others.

My grandfather passed away when I was 16 years old, and although he may never know this, he is my inspiration to enter the field of Neurology. There are two images of my grandfather that I remember most vividly. As a young child, I remember my grandfather as a strong and vibrant man; the person who bought me animal crackers (my favorite treat) every day, and who once saved me from drowning in our pool. In contrast, during the last years of his life, what I remember most was his weak and frail state, the constant tremble of his hands, his slow and shuffling walk, and the way he constantly confused me with my two older sisters. He was no longer the energetic man I remembered from my early childhood days. He had advanced Parkinson’s Disease. Although I yearned to comprehend the mechanisms behind his condition, it was not until many years later, during a college Neurology class, did I begin to grasp the connection between dopamine depletion and my grandfather’s symptoms.

Although I have been interested in the field of medicine since a young age, my fascination with the human brain and its ability to control every aspect of our being grew and intensified during my undergraduate years. While in college, I served as a teaching assistant for an upper division anatomy and neuroanatomy course. This experience served to reinforce my understanding of the central nervous system’s anatomy and compelled me to further study the intricate pathways involved in the coordination of movement and the experience of sensation. As a result of my growing interest in the control of movement, I began volunteering as a research assistant in the Department of Physiology. I devoted numerous hours, analyzing EMGs recorded from Rhesus monkeys that were sent into [outer space makes it sound like a science fiction movie]space, in order to understand the effects of microgravity on muscle activity. This experience enabled me to apply the academic knowledge I had gained from my coursework to a research project with tangible results published in the Journal of Neurophysiology.

During my first two years of medical school, my interest in neurology continued growing as I learned in greater detail, the pathological processes involved in various neurological diseases. I often thought of my grandfather as I gained a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved, as well as the treatments available for Parkinson’s[already implied].  My diligence in studying the subject matter of Neurology was rewarded when I was one of only 12 students in my medical class to receive an A in the course, and was invited to serve as a teaching assistant for the following year.  

By the middle of my first Neurology rotation, I was convinced more than ever that Neurology was the field for me. Each day brought a new and interesting case. A previously “mundane” complaint such as headache, took on a whole new meaning to me when I encountered a patient whose headaches were caused by an AV malformation. Conditions that I had only read about in medical books, such as Shy-Drager Syndrome and Charcot Marie Tooth’s Disease were now presented to me in the form of actual patients whose disease progression and quality of life were in the hands of their neurologists. I had always valued the strong intellectual component involved in the field of neurology, but I now had a greater appreciation for it. The  passion that I saw from my Neurology attendings for their field was infectious; I came home every evening craving more knowledge on the things I had seen and eager to read more on the subject matter.

Afflicted by Juvenile Dermatomyocitis at the age of eight and enduring one of the most challenging periods of my life, I am grateful for the competent and compassionate

medical professionals who helped me through my ordeal. I recall the confusion and fear that I felt when I first began to experience the symptoms of this condition; I could not understand why my body was failing me  as the fatigue and pain that I felt in my muscles left me unable to get out of bed on some days. I soon became accustomed to the doctor’s visits, physical therapy sessions, lab work, and EMGs that I had to endure on a regular basis. Fortunately, the physicians, nurses, and other staff that I encountered treated me with such kindness that I never dreaded my frequent visits to them. Their encouragement gave me the motivation that I needed to overcome the condition. The experience taught me the importance of having a strong physician-patient relationship, and I appreciate the fact that Neurology is one of the few specialties that affords me the opportunity to foster this type of relationship.

I am also stimulated by the variety of challenges that neurology offers; from diagnostic to procedural challenges, the diversity of experiences is particularly appealing. I look forward to a residency program that can offer me strong clinical and academic experiences, with faculty and staff who are dedicated to education. I envision myself at an institution that will allow me ample opportunities to learn from a wide variety of neurological conditions, as well as expose me to a diverse patient population. Upon completion of my residency program, I anticipate improving my skills and knowledge through a clinical fellowship in either the field of movement disorders or EMG/neurophysiology.

Of all the medical subspecialties that I have been exposed to, none have stimulated my academic and medical acumen, challenged my diagnostic abilities, or demonstrated such a significant physician-patient relationship as the field of Neurology. Therefore, I believe none are as well suited for me as this field. Additionally, I realize that as a physician, one must be continually open to learning and growth. As such, I look forward to a residency program that will enable me to continue to develop both my medical skills and my personal character. In return, I will dedicate my time, energy, and all the medical expertise that I possess to treating my patients, learning from others in the medical profession, and teaching those who desire to learn from me.

Neuroscience personal statement example 2.

The application of scientific knowledge to understanding how humans, and the creatures around us, function and react with each other has always been a source of wonder to me.

The opportunity to combine a scientific understanding of processes and structure of the nervous system and brain with knowledge of applications relevant to our own behaviour, including those of a clinical kind, makes neuroscience such an attractive prospect to me.

The subject appeals deeply, as a chance to combine my pure science interests with learning about the most fascinating organ of all, the brain. I look forward to studying the development and behaviour of animals. As I have always been fascinated by the hidden language and silent communication between them, and how this relates to the subtleties of our own social structures, and how commonalities of brain function with humans may be identified.

I am drawn to the opportunity to learn about the physical, and consequent behavioural, impact of neural diseases such as Alzheimer’s and motor neurone disease, and the effects of recreational and medicinal drugs upon the brain. I keep up with the latest news, using the New Scientist, which presents so many different and important topics relevant to how we live today.

These include the most recent research and progress in treating dementia, one of the most complex and mysterious common diseases of our time, to exposing inadequacies in previously accepted treatments such as deep brain stimulation.

Other topics include the potential commercial exploitation of the brain’s response to cinematic effects, manipulating viewers into becoming intoxicated by films, and thus to make a movie more successful.

The diversity of these topics shows me the depth, importance and complexity of the brain, each finding exploring an issue of which we may perhaps be unaware, but which may be alarmingly relevant to each and every one of our lives and the way we work and think.

My reading has led me to David Goleman’s books on Social and Emotional Intelligence, exploring the reactions irresistible to our brains, such as how a smile induces relaxation even in the most tense situation, and showing how each part of our brains are involved with interpreting the world around us.

I have been volunteering at Rastrick High School since March 2010, working in classes with children with learning disabilities, including cerebral palsy and autism. This experience heightened my fascination of how one simple change or abnormality within the brain can have such influence, shaping a person’s personality.

This has helped me learn to adapt to social situations, dealing with a wider variety of people and the occasional challenges of younger children with behavioural problems. I appreciate the chance to work in such an environment, and the insight it has provided into my keenness to pursue a future helping people with such problems.

I have completed two separate weeks’ work experience at veterinary surgeries, which gave me a valuable insight into careers applying complex biological science to clinical situations: I found this compelling and appealing.

This enhanced my communication skills, as I had to adapt to fit in with a team of vets and nurses, and work appropriately and helpfully. This included observing the handling of the animals, and the consultations between the pets and their owners. I observed the interaction between those involved, and how skills of tact can be deployed to ease such a sensitive situation.

I have had a part-time job at a clothes shop since December 2008. This has been an invaluable opportunity to see the long-term changes in a business, and has challenged me to work effectively in a team, and help me learn how to deal with difficult customers with patience and tact.

As well as greatly looking forward to continuing my studies, I am excited by the prospect of independent living, meeting new people, and experiencing the diversity of the vibrant city I hope to move to.

FROM ONE TRAINEE TO ANOTHER: HOW TO APPLY FOR FELLOWSHIP

• Start Early:  Check program websites for vacancies and requirements for the application process. Make contact with programs toward the end of your PGY2 year, and no later than October/November of your PGY3 year. Look on the AAN Fellowships Page, individual program websites, such as FREIDA and other websites. Remember, since fellowship positions and availability are constantly changing, do not rely on information on these sites alone. Always contact the program you are interested in.
• Think About Your Career Goals:  Why a fellowship? What specialty? Is this the right area and/or lifestyle for me? Compare specialties. Speak to people across multiple specialties. Keep your options open. Make time to reflect and decide your priorities.
• Get Informed:  Consider the job market of your specialty, check out geographical areas, talk to other applicants or previous fellows, speak to your mentors (very important!), obtain input from professors. Where is the field going and where will it be when you are done training? In general, the application process varies widely based on the fellowship to which you're applying (e.g., neurocritical care now follows a match system).
• Draft a Timeline:  Create a timeline of when to submit applications and prepare for interviews. The budget for travel. If you are going to need to arrange for time off work or clinical coverage while you are at interviews, do this early.
• Relax:  Don't panic. The vast majority of program graduates have found fellowships that have suited their needs well.
• Organize:  Prepare a list of questions, organize your certificates with all dates, be prepared for the application process in advance, have a portfolio available, use one email address for all applications. (Tip: Use your university address rather than personal email.)
• Draft Your Personal Statement:  Personal statements should be one page or less. Be enthusiastic, communicate through your words. Get help with proofreading (by at least two people), especially if English is not your first language.
• Recommendation Letters:  Obtain strong letters that are well-written. You need to sell yourself and be competitive.
• Research Experience:  Whether publications or presentations, be able to demonstrate the significance of your work, be knowledgeable on your research topic, how your research will make an impact. Get excited about your research and think about how you want to continue research through Fellowship and beyond.
• Application:  List community service projects, write clearly and demonstrate the spectrum of your academic record. List all pertinent accomplishments.
• Interview/Selection Process:  Clinical performance, rotation evaluations, and interpersonal skills are important, as well as the reputation of your program, involvement in research, and medical knowledge (e.g., USMLE). Be prepared for questions (why are you different, why this field, this particular program, your weaknesses, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?). Be confident. Ask your own questions. Eye contact and professionalism are important. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early, plan your route the day before and allow time for travel delays and mishaps.
• Keep in Contact:  Send thank you notes, maintain follow-up, listen for vacancies or announcements, consistently check and re-check websites.
• Maintain Perspective:  Stressful situations can blur your goals and/or perspective. Strategize early - you may have to make difficult decisions to make when the offers start rolling in!

Neuroscience Personal Statement Example

Sample statement.

Studying Neuroscience means you’ll be on the frontline of new scientific discoveries and could lead to a highly rewarding career. However, you might find that writing your personal statement is the biggest hurdle.

To give you a push in the right direction here is an example personal statement of someone applying to study Neuroscience:

From an early age I was interested in science and thoroughly enjoyed creating “experiments” with home science kits and other household items. As I grew older I understood just how many ground breaking discoveries are made in the world of science every day and I know that a career where I can be a part of that is right for me.

At school I excelled in science subjects and relished the chance to study Biology and Chemistry at A Level. By studying these subjects alongside Psychology and Sociology gave me a chance to develop more in-depth knowledge of how the human mind works and how we form relationships with each other and the world around us.

During my time at college I worked part time as a carer in a nursing home specialising in elderly dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. This gave me first-hand experience of how fragile and complex the human brain is.

Outside of school I fit volunteering at my local charity shop around my studies and part time employment. This gives me the chance to build on my personal, teamwork, and communication skills that I have gained as a result of working in the care home.

I look forward to my time at university taking me to a new area where I can volunteer for another charity and continue to develop my skills and make new connections with local people.

My time at the care home has inspired me to want to help people who suffer with degenerative brain disorders and to strive to discover better forms of treatment, or even a prevention or cure.

I hope that a career in Neuroscience will allow me to improve the lives of others, if only in a small way.

Neuroscience Personal Statement

The brain, to me, is such a complex and sovereign organism that has influence over the internal mechanisms and this has always allured to me. My true fascination has manifested from observing the external factors that can affect the function of the brain. From a young age I have been exposed to addiction; a factor which I believe has incited a passion within me to pursue a neurological career. I have witnessed the physical and psychological effects that an alcohol addiction has over an individual, and in my seventeen years the greatest thing that I have observed is the pattern of habits that relapse and evolve with an addiction. Although this can be a truly upsetting environment to have been around, I have learnt that the brain and mind, like many other things in life, are susceptible to error. This is something I wish to delve deeper into in my studies.

Whilst in a philosophy lesson in which we were exploring the issue of whether the evil and suffering that exists in this world can be reconciled with an omnibenevolent God, I first encountered the contribution of Paul Kalanithi to the debate. Intrigued by his approach of harmonising his neurosurgical practice with his faith, all the while accepting the terminal diagnosis of lung cancer, I read his 'When Breath Becomes Air'. The line; '...the fact that brains give rise to our ability to form relationships and make life meaningful. Sometimes they break', resonates with me and opened my eyes to the importance of neurological development in the world today. Ethics classes have made me become more acquainted to discussions regarding the psychological involvement in notorious crimes, for example, the influence of OCD and Asperger's Syndrome on the 2013 Sandy Hook perpetrator Adam Lanza. I enjoy engaging in these lessons, and at times challenging other classmates as I acknowledge that there can be many ways to psychologically tackle these dilemmas.

Biology, I believe, has provided me with the skills required in both neuroscience and psychology. In class we regularly practice experimental techniques such as microscopy which I know will be utilised when studying the brain closely. The most prominent thing that biology has given to me is the ability to study the systematic nature of our body, and how even the 'simplest' bodily function requires nervous stimulation. I often leave lessons perplexed yet fascinated by the human body, and even more astonished by the paramountcy of the brain within the body; something that I would be grateful to study at university. Studying health and social care at A level has given me the opportunity to explore the physical, mental and social affects that neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's can have on an individual, with such chronic diseases like this on the rise I believe that my knowledge from studying this subject would aid any future research.

I have worked as an optical assistant in a local optician's for over a year now. This job has given me the opportunity to develop and display skills of applying my knowledge in independent and team settings. I have been trained in conducting field tests, which has further increased my interest in studying the brain as these tests can correlate optical health with neurological health.

In my spare time I attend the gym regularly and practice yoga and mindfulness; keeping me physical and mentally fit. Both of these activities have shown to have great psychological benefits, and I would say I am an advocate of this. I also enjoy reading and learning about psychological theories and developments via YouTube and the news. For example, I recently read of the 2017 Nobel Prize winners for physiology who discovered that our cells have a 'body clock' explaining human sleep and behaviour patterns. This has truly fascinated me and one day I hope to embrace the opportunity to make such scientific development like this.

Neurology Residency Personal Statement, Dementia, Parkinson’s, MS

Updated: Jan 17

At the end of my internships, I considered the different specialties to which I had been exposed and concluded that my work in the Neurology Ward had been the most satisfying and was where I felt I had been most effective. Apart from an academic interest in neurological conditions, I had a facility to soothe and reassure Neurology patients who are often very distressed and anxious, especially when they first arrive.

On one occasion, I had been delegated by my terribly busy program director to attend to a young stroke patient who had just been admitted. I was given a brief explanation of the patient’s condition and then met the patient. He was highly distressed, anxious, and agitated. He had a wife and a young child, and his main concern was that he would be able to continue working to support them. I explained his problem, treatment options, and outcome; I gave preventative advice and answered many of his questions. By the end of our consultation, he had relaxed to the point that he was smiling; and fully recovered. This event is exemplary, for me, as a testimony to the importance of providing patients with an adequate education concerning the challenges they face and the options they have to empower them. I see this educative role as especially important with Neurology patients, and I have given my all to develop exemplary skills in this area.

I am extremely interested in the considerable research being undertaken into conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis, which are currently incurable. I hope to be involved in research and clinical trials and play a part in finding and applying new treatments for such conditions. I also stay very current concerning the rapidly increasing number of dementia patients we treat as Neurologists and especially look forward to challenges in this area.

I undertook my master's in public health to gain professional maturity and stature and to further prepare myself to give my all to a residency program. Earning my MPH was a most enriching experience; it has equipped me with invaluable knowledge about preventative medicine and substantial familiarization with the medical environment in the US. I have also been able to ‘shadow’ five neurologists since January. This was highly informative and has fully confirmed my choice. Thus, I feel well-prepared to commence and complete a successful residency in Neurology. My long-term goal is to become an excellent neurologist practicing, researching, and teaching in a teaching hospital.

I have undertaken many volunteer activities that demonstrate that I genuinely care about people, helping to improve their lives as far as it lies within my power. I have felt incredibly honored that Dr. XXXX, Associate Professor and Director of the Parkinson’s Disease Research Institute at XXXX University Hospital, accepted me to work with her research team as a voluntary research assistant.

I know that there will be many well-qualified applicants for residency positions. However, I am an exceptional candidate. My excellent academic record is evidence of my diligence and intelligence; I possess the personal characteristics and attitude required of a first-class physician and neurologist. I am eager to join a challenging and stimulating program where I might have the opportunity to assist with research projects. I have a great passion for my chosen specialty, matched only by my dedication to providing excellent care to patients suffering from neurological conditions.

Guide on Applying for a Neurology Residency Program

• Look for an ACGME-Accredited Neurology Residency Program that will suit you. You can find many lists online so you will have options: you can choose clinical neurology, vascular neurology residency, pain management and palliative care program, neurodevelopmental and neuromuscular neurology, pediatric neurology and more!
• Choose a program that has a wide selection of sources. These sources include Neurology residents, neurology department chair, members of the neurology faculty, and fresh graduates who are in other programs. You should also consider some factors when choosing your program. Take a look at some of these them:
• The over-all academic environment : this now tackles the research activity, education curriculum, availability of neurology subspecialty expertise, conference schedule, and the faculty-to-resident ratios.
• The academic career, which covers the university-based programs : these programs must have a faculty that is committed to teaching and research.
• The subspecialty interest must also be considered. Look for programs that have an experienced and expert division for a particular area. This will help in the introduction of research and other specialized practice. Additionally, this will also help you sort out the programs that provide a fellowship for such area after completing residency. In this factor, you also have to look on the general clinical neurology. By general clinical neurology, you can gauge the autonomy you can have when it comes to managing patients in a resident’s clinic, as well as evaluating undiagnosed patients.
• Be well informed of the conference schedules and curriculum.
• Check on the size of the program.
• Ask about the patient-to-resident ratio to know the sufficiency of your exposure when it comes to the variety of patients that will be provided.
• Know its location.
• Look for the competitiveness of the program.
• Training.  Consider applying the first post-graduate year or the PGY-1 while you are in Neurology program. There are also combination programs you can take. However, these programs are limited, so better be early for an application.
• Last steps – Interview and Match.  Be aware of the interview schedules so you can prepare properly. Your invitation for an interview depends on what you have submitted, this includes your credentials, personal statement and your letters of preference. After your interview, make and submit a ranking list of programs to the Neurology Matching Program. Also, be alert to the dates of submission.

Dos and Don’ts in your neurology fellowship personal statement sample

• Don’t use your PSA as your diary. Your reasons for taking up medicine need to be left behind. Remember, you are not applying for a med school. You are now a doctor, and this is all about your specialization already.
• Do show your seriousness and your enthusiasm to get into the program. Try to incorporate your experiences into your medical school with your chosen field.
• Do not use all the 28,000 characters. This is the character limit for a PSA set by ERAS. Just keep your PSA easy to read on. Consider the readers of the PSAs submitted in a day. A residency director is not very interested in reading long and non-sense PSA. Hence, make it short, yet concise.
• Do different PSAs for each program you are applying to. Each program needs a different kind of form and attack. For example, a child neurology personal statement has a different approach than other PSAs. So, get to know the program you are applying to before making a PSA. Make sure that it is suitable for that program.
• Don’t make a PSA impress. Make it more relatable.
• Do look for a fellowship personal statement sample online for your guide.

List of Questions PSA Should Answer

When making a PSA, put the mind of the resident director into yours. Think of the things that the resident director expects to be in your PSA. And to help you out, here are some of the queries you can consider to answer when making your PSA:

• What is your ultimate career goal?
• What are your interests that are related to the area you are applying?
• How did you develop those interests?
• What experiences from your med school can you relate to the area you are applying for?
• What can you contribute in the field after your program?
• What personal stories should you or should not include?
• What are the work experiences that you have done related to the field you are applying for?
• How much you are you eager to learn?
• What are your personal characteristics that are needed in the field you are applying for?
• Are these personal characteristics well backed up in your PSA?

These are some of the techniques you can try to do to make your neurology personal statement more efficient and easier than it seems. Go ahead and make one now for your bright future.
