The Neurology Residency Program at LSUHSC is fully accredited. It accepts three residents per year. Residents must complete one year of internal medicine prior to entering into our program. The neurology program's teaching philosophy integrates the old with the new. Teaching didactics occur at the bedside and live patient formats are used to demonstrate the neurological examination and decision making. Residents enjoy four to six months of elective time. Over half of the training experience occurs in the outpatient setting. The main teaching hospital for the program is at the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans, a tertiary hospital for the southern part of the state. The LSU Health Sciences Center has the latest diagnostic and therapeutic equipment and is the home for over 50 different residency programs.
