Adult Neurology Residency Program

Adult neurology residents rotate through LAC+USC Medical Center, USC University Hospital, and Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. Residents may also elect to rotate through Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center.

General Structure of the Program

Residents largely divide their time between taking care of inpatients and attending ambulatory continuity clinics. There is a dedicated 15 bed inpatient Neurology ward at LAC+USC Medical Center with a 4 bed Neurological ICU. Rotations at LAC+USC include Consult and Ward services, while the University Hospital rotation includes inpatient video telemetry EEG monitoring and Consult services. Throughout the course of training, residents attend a half-day continuity clinic located at the LAC+USC Medical Center (LAC+USC). During the second year, residents also rotate through the epilepsy ambulatory clinic one half-day per week. Specialty ambulatory clinic experience in the fields of Multiple Sclerosis, Movement Disorders, and Neuromuscular is available through various elective rotations. All residents are required to complete a total of three months of pediatric neurology (for Board eligibility) and a neuropathology rotation. There are ample opportunities for elective rotations and research. While at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, residents also attend the pediatric neurology ambulatory clinic three half-days per week.
