Special Features

The USC Clinical Neurophysiology Program (CNP) has been accredited by the ACGME since 2004. The program encompasses a balance between EMG/ Neuromuscular and EEG/Epilepsy disciplines and is complemented by a series of comprehensive didactic lectures, weekly clinical and scientific conferences and one-to-one interactive experience with a diverse faculty. The fellowship derives its strength from a busy clinical practice, a multidisciplinary clinical and translational research program based at Keck
