\n\t\t\tDr. Susan Shaw has been the Chair of Neurology at Harbor since 2019. She completed medical school at Northwestern University, where she decided on neurology after watching an intriguing electrocortical stimulation mapping study on an epilepsy patient. She moved to Los Angeles for neurology residency at UCLA, then continued her hopscotch moves around the country to Johns Hopkins for clinical neurophysiology\/epilepsy fellowship. After training, she returned to Southern California and began her career at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, a sister facility to Harbor-UCLA. Her research interests center around neurorehabilitation, neurorestoration and epilepsy, with collaborative projects including brain-computer interface studies, stroke rehabilitation technologies, pharmaceuticals for epilepsy, and artificial intelligence in the epilepsy monitoring unit.
