The Division of Child Neurology's mission is to provide the best possible care for patients with childhood neurologic disorders by establishing excellence in education and research through diverse programs in clinical and basic neurosciences.
Medical education requires intellectual curiosity, sharing knowledge, and continued learning.
All individuals deserve quality care independent of their resources. Academic medical institutions should facilitate academic and service opportunity for medical staff, residents and trainees. Medical education requires participation and responsibility. Patients with subspecialty disorders coming to a tertiary institution should have early involvement of the appropriate subspecialty. Such diseases include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, muscular dystrophy, headaches, nervous system complications of systemic diseases or infections like meningitis and encephalitis, metabolic and genetic diseases of the nervous system, learning and behavioral disorders in infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
