The ACGME also took the rare step of imposing immediate probation on Los Angeles County and USC, which together sponsor more than 60 programs with hundreds of medical residents and fellows, including the troubled cardiovascular disease fellowship. Changes to the fellowship take effect in June 2020, allowing two classes of current fellows to graduate. The selective program has 15 slots for the three-year curriculum, and its disappearance would reduce L.A. County-USC Medical Center’s pool of specialized physicians. USC said it would “hopefully” reopen a new cardiology fellowship program before the current one must close.

County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis said in a statement Thursday that she was disappointed by the panel’s decision. “But I am fully committed to ensuring that there is no interruption of cardiology services at LAC+USC Medical Center,” she said.
Must be all the Republicans at the school.
