About
The MUSC Neuromuscular Program is a division within the Department of Neurology. Our mission is threefold: (1) to provide comprehensive evaluation and state-of-the-art treatment for patients with neuromuscular diseases based on a multi-disciplinary team approach; (2) to train the next generation of neurologists to be compassionate clinicians and effective teachers with advanced skills in neuromuscular medicine; and (3) to advance scientific knowledge and the care of patients with neuromuscular diseases through collaborative research endeavors.

Academics & Clinical Programs
- We have one EMG track position every year in the ACGME-accredited Clinical Neurophysiology Fellowship Program.
- Neuromuscular Pathology Conference is a multi-disciplinary, monthly conference to discuss challenging cases, where the clinical presentations are correlated with the diagnostic testing results (blood, imaging, NCS/EMG, nerve or muscle biopsy) to determine the best management plans for the patients.
- Research and publication opportunities in industry and foundation clinical trials.
- Fellows and rotating residents are exposed to common neuromuscular and rare neuromuscular diseases with active Myasthenia Gravis, ALS, and MDA programs.
- Clinical rotations for trainees include: consults at MUSC and at Ralph H. Johnson VA, and outpatient Neuromuscular Clinics.
- The level of clinical responsibilities and independence is graded based on the expected level of competency for trainees.
- Medical Students rotate in the outpatient neuromuscular clinics with the expectation to enhance clinical skills and are offered an opportunity to pursue research if interested.
