Education
Neurology observerships and electives.
Information for medical students, international medical graduates, and trainees interested in clinical neurology experience in Los Angeles.
Current status
Applications are not open
We are not accepting observership or elective applications at this time. This is a single-physician practice, and taking on an observer well requires time the current clinic schedule does not have.
If that changes, it will be posted here first. There is no waiting list and no application to submit in the meantime, so please do not send documents.
About the practice
What an elective here would involve
Kept here so anyone evaluating a future application knows what the setting actually is.
A subspecialty outpatient practice
Multiple sclerosis, neuroimmunology, neuropathy, and general neurology in an outpatient concierge setting. No inpatient or call responsibilities.
Long visits, visible reasoning
New-patient visits run 60 minutes, so the history-taking and clinical reasoning are actually observable rather than compressed out of the encounter.
One attending
All teaching would be directly with Dr. Achillefs Ntranos, MD, a fellowship-trained MS specialist and published researcher, rather than a rotating faculty.
Observation only
Any elective would be strictly observational, consistent with California licensing requirements for unlicensed trainees.
Press or academic enquiries, as distinct from elective applications, can go to info@achillesneurology.com.
