I have a strong interest and considerable experience in general clinical neurology as well as in the fields of multiple sclerosis, lupus and the vasculitides, autoimmune diseases, inherited neurologic diseases, and the neurological complications of medical disorders and pregnancy. This is reflected in the diversity of my outpatient clinics and my work in clinical trials. Neurology residents have worked closely with me in the clinics and some have coauthored papers. My clinical interests lie in autoimmune diseases, particularly MS and vasculitis, and inherited neurological diseases. I am the Director for the Clerkship in Neurology.
Medical students rotate on neurology through the year and interact closely with the residents.
There are many opportunities for residents to teach clinical neurology to medical students. These include participation in the Clinical Pathophysiology Course and the Physical Diagnosis courses for the second years. The emphasis on clinical fundamentals is a major aspect of my teaching when i attend on the ward each July. Neurology residents have attended and participate din discussion sessions. As a former Neurology program director, the above activities are consonant with our goal to provide a broad exposure to all facets of clinical neurology in our residency program and to make available opportunities to develop specialized interests.
