The residency training program in neurology was established in 1970 and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
Training is offered in adult and pediatric neurology as well as neurologic subspecialties.
PGY1 residents spend two months as a part of the UCSD neurologic team. The rotation is coordinated by a behavioral neurologist. Mercy Hospital Medical Center is where PGY1 residents have their four-month inpatient internal medicine clinical experience. This site was selected for the general medicine rotation on the basis of Mercy's outstanding reputation for its clinical care and clinical training and its proximity to the UCSD Medical Center. Mercy Hospital is a 520-bed, acute care inpatient facility, a Level I Trauma Center, and the site of the Mercy Clinic.
