Meet Dr. Cynthia Zheng! We are so excited Cynthia was able to stay at the University of Minnesota for her child neurology residency training! #ChildNeurologyResidency #PedsNeuro

Graphic titled "Meet Cynthia" in maroon text with a portrait of Cynthia Zheng, PGY-3, in the middle. The University of Minnesota block M is in the bottom left corner. The graphic's background is various shades of gold.

Why Child Neurology?
Child neurology is the perfect blend of the nerdiness of neurology with the playfulness of peds! I studied neuroscience in undergrad and entered med school interested in adult neurology but have always loved working with children. During my clinical rotations in medical school, I discovered child neurology and absolutely fell in love with the field during my month on service at UMMCH.

Why did you choose UMN Child Neurology Residency?
The faculty! We truly have the best people here with wonderful mentors who are not only amazing clinicians who dedicate their minds and hearts to their patients, but are also fantastic teachers. The culture here is so friendly and feels like a family. The winters may be cold in Minnesota, but it is a great place to live with so much to do.

What are you looking forward to most about residency?
As part of the first cohort of child neurology residents at the UMN, I'm just really excited to help build the program!

Any other fun fact, hobby, etc you'd like to share?
Nowadays most of my time is spent chasing around my son, Leo, (yay for baby friendly residency programs!) who is busy walking around everywhere! We enjoy exploring kid friendly areas around town and with our dog, Momo. Pre-baby I loved dancing and am hoping to get back into that!

Meet Dr. Amber Piazza! We're delighted to have Dr. Piazza back in Minnesota to complete her child neurology training. #ChildNeurologyResidency

Why did you choose UMN for your Child Neurology Residency?
After completing med school at UMN, it was clear that the child neurology faculty and staff love to teach and are all around wonderful, supportive people! I can't wait to learn from them across multiple clinical sites and patient populations.

What are you looking forward to most about residency?
Learning all things child neurology from common presentations to rare conditions, and caring for incredible kids while doing so! So excited to meet and work alongside co-residents and mentors who share these passions.

Any other fun fact, hobby, etc. you'd like to share?
Favorite hobbies: walks/hikes with my dog Rue, trying new coffee shops, cooking fun dinners (probably a bowl of some sort), and reading or watching thrillers.

Meet Dr. Peter Goncharov! We are so glad he decided to stay at the University of Minnesota for his child neurology residency. #ChildNeurologyResidency #Residency #MeetTheMatched

Why Child Neurology? I chose Child Neurology because I love the diagnostic complexity, novel treatments, and longitudinal relationships that you build with patients and their families. I love that it provides care to families in a variety of settings from outpatient clinics to critical care!

Why UMN for your Child Neuro Residency? The faculty here are incredibly willing to mentor learners, and this was important to me when choosing a residency.

What are you looking forward to most about residency? I'm most looking forward to getting to know my Peds and Child Neuro co-residents and taking care of kids!

Any fun facts, hobbies, etc., you'd like to share? In my free time, I compete in Jiu-jitsu locally and spend time with my fiancee and our Newfoundland dog, Moose!

Meet Dr. Jacob Hanson! We're thrilled this Twin Cities native is returning to the University of Minnesota for his child neurology residency. #ChildNeurologyResidency #MeetTheMatched

Why Child Neurology?
Child Neurology is an incredibly rewarding and intellectually stimulating field to be part of, and I’m SO glad I ended up here. Being able to provide neurological care for children, sometimes from day one of life, and watching them grow up alongside their loved ones, is such a privilege.

Why UMN for your Child Neurology Residency?
From day 1 of my sub-I at UMN, I was welcomed into the UMN family, became an integral member of the team, and met some of the kindest and most genuine people that helped shape me into who I am today. I was also fortunate enough to rotate at one of the partner sites, where I met more amazing people and saw exceptional care being provided to children with complex neurological conditions. I also love living in Minneapolis. It is such a strong community and the people here really look out for one another even in times of hardship.

What are you looking forward to most about residency?
I can't wait to meet all of my co-residents from pediatrics, child neuro, and adult neuro and am very grateful I get to provide neurological care to children in MN from all walks of life. I'm also excited about being one of the first few cohorts for this new program and helping shape what that looks like for future residents who come after me.

Any other fun fact, hobby, etc., you'd like to share?
I am a die-hard MN sports fan and love the MN State Fair! I enjoy going to the gym, going to breweries with friends, trying new restaurants, and walking around the lakes with my wife and our 2 dogs.
