A Message from the Departmental Chair
The Department of Neurology at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB)
was established in 1973. It has a long-standing history and tradition
in the practice and advancement of Clinical Neurosciences by providing
the most comprehensive care to patients with neurologic illnesses from
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, epilepsy, neuromuscular
disorders, brain tumors, Parkinson’s Disease and other movement
disorders, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders, stroke as
well as other acute neurologic injuries. Our department has a robust
laboratory research program in the Mitchell Center that is particularly
focused at advancing our knowledge of neurodegenerative disorders.
Additionally, we have a highly regarded fully-accredited neurology
residency training program that has served for highly successful career
trajectories for our graduates.
The values of the department are aligned with the mission of UTMB to
uphold integrity, demonstrate compassion and respect, embrace diversity,
and strive for excellence and innovation. The departmental philosophy
and vision is to optimize an organizational environment that strives for
excellence in the domains of: a) clinical patient care; b) teaching,
training, and mentoring medical students, residents, fellows, faculty,
and staff; and c) research and scholarship. Our overall goal is to
continue providing state-of-the-art care to patients with neurologic
disorders, conducting and enhancing research (clinical, translational,
and basic science) through interdepartmental collaborations, and
training the next generation of neurologists and neuroscientists to
improve diagnosis, and management of neurologic disorders and to develop
more innovative therapies and strategies for the future.
