Program Overview
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center's Neurology Residency Program offers
a categorical training program in Neurology. Under the close supervision
of the faculty at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (primary site and
sponsoring institution), Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Fullerton
Neurology and Headache Center, and The Parkinson's and Movement Disorders
Institute, residents will experience clinical education through a broad
experience in inpatient and outpatient neurology and the neurological
subspecialties.
To complement the residents’ education in the clinical and basic neurosciences, the program offers a robust didactic curriculum: morning report, epilepsy and neuromuscular disease conference, neuroimaging conference, neurology emergencies course, board review course, journal club, neurosurgery grand rounds, stroke quality improvement conference (as a resident member of the stroke committee) and vascular neurology conference.
As delineated in the Program Block Diagram linked below, PGY-1 residents complete rotations in inpatient internal medicine, clinical neurophysiology (EEG and EMG), inpatient neurology and outpatient neurology subspecialty clinics. PGY-2 residents rotate in clinical neurophysiology, headache, inpatient neurology, movement disorders, night float and outpatient neurology subspecialty clinics. PGY-3 residents take on progressively more clinical responsibility in inpatient neurology, and rotate in child neurology, elective, headache, movement disorders and outpatient neurology subspecialty clinics. PGY-4 residents serve as chief residents in inpatient neurology, and rotate in clinical neurophysiology, electives, headache, movement disorders, neurosurgery and neurocritical care, outpatient neurology subspecialty clinics and psychiatry.
Residents beginning in PGY-3, rotate in three electives during the program to address individual goals and/or to prepare for entering clinical practice or a fellowship after graduation. Electives are offered in neurology of aging, neuro-infectious disease, neuro-oncology, neuro-ophthalmology, neuro-otology, neuropathology, neurorehabilitation, and pain management. Residents beginning in PGY-2, have their own weekly half-day longitudinal or “continuity” clinic in addition to clinics in the neurological subspecialties during the residency training. Residents have a four-week vacation per year of training. Vacation is taken on non-internal medicine rotations, except night float rotation.
