Riverside University Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

RUHS Neurology is a newly-accredited, county-based program built around ambulatory-focused training for an underserved, diverse Southern California population, anchored by a 400+ bed primary stroke center with additional rotations at Loma Linda University Medical Center. The program explicitly aims to produce board-certified, patient-centered general neurologists capable of independent practice in any clinical setting, rather than orienting toward subspecialty fellowship. Research is structurally supported through CECORC and an annual symposium, with residents required to design or join a scholarly project, but this exists alongside a primary clinical mission rather than displacing it. The program values residents drawn to community-oriented, safety-net neurology within a small, multidisciplinary GME environment shared with internal medicine, psychiatry, family medicine, neurosurgery, and radiology.
