As its new Chair, it’s a pleasure for me to welcome you to
the Neurology Department
of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The
Department is part of the
University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Center (AMC)
and is one of the
largest Academic Medical Centers between Chicago and the
West Coast. The School
of Medicine is in the top 25 schools nationally in NIH
funding and includes numerous
nationally recognized affiliated hospitals. Our Department
is composed of over 30
primary faculty members whose clinical and research
interests and activities
encompass virtually all aspects of neurology. Faculty are
integrated into functional
units including Behavioral Neurology, Cerebrovascular
Diseases, Epilepsy and Sleep
Disorders, Infectious Disease, Movement Disorders, Multiple
Sclerosis,
Neuromuscular Disorders, Neuro-oncology, and Neuro-ophthalmology
each of
which strives to provide cutting-edge diagnostic and
therapeutic services to patients
and families dealing with neurological disease. Our faculty
have clinical activities at
four affiliated teaching hospitals (The Childrens Hospital,
Denver Health Medical
Center, Denver Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University
Hospital), each of which
brings unique clinical, educational, and research strengths
to our program. Clinical, |
|
research and educational programs are closely linked to
the Division of Pediatric
Neurology of the Department of Pediatrics. The
educational mission of the
Department includes primary responsibility for the
training of medical students in
required neurology clerkships, an ACGME accredited
Neurology Residency Training
Program (16 positions), Clinical Fellowships (Behavioral
Neurology, Cerebrovascular
Disease, CNS Infections, Epilepsy, Movement Disorders,
Neuromuscular Disease,
MS) and both clinical and laboratory based fellowships
in neurology research. The
clinical enterprise includes busy outpatient, inpatient
and consultation services, as
exemplified by over 12,000 outpatient visits and over
800 annual admissions at UH.
The Department has a strong clinical and basic science
research component,
consistently ranking in the top 30 Departments
nationally in NIH research support.
We encourage inquiries regarding any aspect of our
tripartite mission of Patient Care,
Research and Teaching.
