Letter from the department chair

Welcome to the Department of Neurology.

The Department of Neurology at the University of Louisville School Of Medicine is a vibrant clinical department devoted to providing the adults and children of Kentucky and Southern Indiana with comprehensive neurological care. The department is also dedicated to teaching the neurologists of the future and committed to participating in innovative clinical and translational research.

The clinical subspecialties include general neurology, stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disease, clinical neurophysiology, headache, sleep disorders, and child neurology. All programs function as multidisciplinary teams with neurology faculty members at the helm. We serve three hospitals, two rehabilitation centers, and provide outpatient neurology services at several clinical facilities.

Education of medical students, neurology residents, residents from other specialties, and clinical fellows is our priority. The residency training program provides house officers with a rich exposure to a large and diverse patient population of individuals with acute, subacute, and chronic neurological diseases under the close supervision of expert faculty in neurology. State of the art clinical care coupled with extensive clinical mentoring by faculty make our training program unsurpassed.

Our clinical research in stroke and multiple sclerosis are among the fastest growing programs in the country, enrolling patients in important clinical trials with potentially life saving innovative treatments. Our research in movement disorders, particularly in progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson’s disease is internationally recognized as the leading work in this subspecialty of neurology.

Please review our website and contact any of our faculty or staff with questions. We are proud of our growing department and the many accomplishments of our faculty.
