Welcome to the Department of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. With over 100 clinical and research faculty, we provide the most advanced neurological care in the region and have contributed to the development of cutting-edge advances in the understanding of neurological disorders and its treatments. Our clinical advances are recognized by US News and World Report who ranked us #20 in the top 1200 programs in the nation, together with neurosurgery. With dedicated Discovery Neuroscience laboratories, and large clinical research initiatives, we are a top recipient of NIH funding (ranked 14th in the nation). Additionally, our focus on professional education ranks our residency program in the top 10 neurology training programs and one of the largest in the country with 45 residents and 23 fellows.
We are saddened by the passing of our dear friend, colleague, and leader, Dr. Ralph L. Sacco, but know that he would be proud of the accomplishments of this Department of Neurology. I am honored to serve as the interim chair and continue our mission to offer excellent clinical care, comprehensive diagnostics, and novel treatments engineered through clinical and translational research. We have forged close interdisciplinary collaborations with neurosurgeons, radiologists, geneticists, and other disciplines as we continue to develop better treatments and prevention for neurological disorders through cutting edge research.
Whether you are a patient, a referring physician, a researcher, or a future resident or fellow, I would like to welcome you and thank you for your continued support.
