Today, neurological disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of problems with the central and peripheral nervous system. The incidence of these disorders is increasing significantly in Mexico because of the inversion of the population pyramid and an increase in life expectancy. Neurodegenerative diseases present the greatest growth among the different disorders because they have age as an important risk factor. In addition, cerebral vascular disease is the third cause of death in Mexico and an important cause of morbidity. It results in high economic costs because of the rehabilitation and social reinsertion it implies (INEGI 2010). To face these challenges, Mexico needs neurological healthcare professionals who are committed to a society that demands quality medical attention and humanistic professionals, in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this group of pathologies. The Residency in Neurology responds to this need to train healthcare professionals with the skills and knowledge to make a real contribution. Since its origins, it has been a program focused on training, continuing education and face-to-face innovative teaching, taking into consideration that neurology is one of the branches of medicine that has grown the most over the past decade, both on a diagnostic level and with regard to new lines of basic and clinical research, in the quest to find novel treatments. The Multicentered Residency in Neurology of Tecnológico de Monterrey is staffed by academic personnel and infrastructure of the highest quality. It is an educational model based on excellence and competencies centered on the patient, offered by successful professionals who are experts in teaching, both clinical and experimental. As a result, the participants in the program have all the leading-edge humanistic, technological and methodological support they need to develop their potential and, therefore, stand out regionally, nationally and internationally. This program is directed to those healthcare professionals who wish to do post-graduate training in clinical neurology.
The aim of the Residency in Neurology of Tecnológico de Monterrey is to train exceptional Neurologists, who meet the needs of patients with neurological pathologies, according to the highest quality and safety standards, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It also seeks to prepare individuals with integrity and a humanistic outlook in their clinical, teaching and research practices, while strictly adhering to ethical principles and the standards of professional practice. Neurologists who graduate from this institution are internationally competitive leaders, who contribute to the generation of knowledge on the frontiers of Neurology and transfer this knowledge through teaching. They are also committed to lifelong learning in medicine.
The Residency in Neurology of Tecnológico de Monterrey is directed to doctors with a great sense of social responsibility; with a willingness to seek and understand new knowledge; and with the capacity and desire to learn and acquire their own skills in the different areas of the neurological sciences and later to have the capability to generate new knowledge in the field.

View profileNeurodegenerative Diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases are those diseases where there is an increase in cell death processes in different regions of the central nervous system, affecting them chronically and progressively, and producing a variety of symptoms. These diseases, especially Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease have a high prevalence in our community, they represent a serious health problem. It is estimated that the number will triple by the year 2030. Currently, they represent the main cause of disability in adults, having a great social impact.
Multiple Sclerosis and other Demyelinating Diseases of the Central Nervous System. Inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS comprise a group of pathologies of autoimmune etiology, of monophasic, recurrent, or progressive behavior that affect the central nervous system. These include multiple sclerosis, acute disseminated Encephalomyelitis, and Neuromyelitis Optica. Multiple sclerosis is the most prevalent in our country, and it is considered one of the leading causes of physical disability due to non-traumatic causes, affecting approximately 30% of patients after 10 years of suffering from the disease.
Study of Cerebrovascular Diseases. There is a high incidence of diseases that affect the cerebral blood vessels, which represent the fifth cause of disease in our country and the first cause of disability in the world. Due to this, clinical research work has been initiated to evaluate the impact of cerebrovascular disease in our population, through clinical studies of diagnosis and treatment of patients with cerebral circulation affection.
