WELCOME

Welcome to the Department of Neurology at the University of Miami School of Medicine, one of the largest and respected clinical neuroscience departments in the nation.

The mission of the Department of Neurology is threefold—to expand the knowledge of the causes, treatments, and cures for neurological disease; to provide unparalleled care to patients; and to train the next generation of practitioners and neuroscientists.

Widely recognized as an international referral center, neurologists from Latin America, Florida, and the rest of the United States consistently turn to our faculty for expertise in solving complex neurological problems.

The department is comprised of research laboratories, clinical divisions, clinical laboratories, and research centers such as the Kessenich Family MDA ALS Center, which provides information and care to ALS patients and their families using a multidisciplinary approach.

The Department of Neurology also is home to the Brain Endowment Bank, which conducts clinical and basic research of the human brain including Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, drug addiction, and aging; the Sleep Disorders Center, which provides a wide range of services for individuals with sleep related disturbances; and the International Center for Epilepsy, to name a few.

On this site, you will find information on the various divisions that comprise the department, the various procedures we perform, a description of select research being conducted, as well as a list of our faculty and their areas of expertise.
