Department of Neurology

The Department of Neurology is organized to provide medical education opportunities in clinical neurology at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels of training. The clinical facilities of Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital, and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center are available for the care and study of a variety of acute and chronic neurological disorders. A four-week clerkship is required in the third year. Clinical experience is directed toward history-taking, physical and laboratory examinations in neurological disorders, and the management of neurological disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, coma, muscle/nerve disorders, Parkinsonism, and dementia.

Fellowships are available in electrodiagnostics (EEG, EEG/video monitoring, EMG, and evoked potentials), stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, and multiple sclerosis/neurovirology neuroimmunology.
