Education & Training Programs

UR Medicine's Approach

Our divisions and clinical services bring together physicians, fellows, residents, and nurse practitioners to treat patients with common neurological conditions (such as stroke or epilepsy) and those with rare conditions (such as ataxia).

We work as a team with specialists in Neurosurgery, Neuroradiology, Pediatrics, and Physical Rehabilitation when needed.

We are leaders in stroke care, and are a New York State designated Stroke Center.

The unit provides specialized, life-saving care to stroke victims before they even get to the hospital.

UR Medicine Neurology includes the Women's Center for Neurological Care, a specialized center that provides our region’s women with neurological conditions excellence in care with respect to the unique challenges that women face over the course of a lifetime.
