Welcome to the University of Arizona Department of Neurology! We take pride in providing world-class clinical neurology services, a top-notch neurology education for our residents and medical students, and opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research.
Our department was founded in 1967 and is an integral part of the College of Medicine. During the tenures of our previous chairmen, William A. Sibley, M.D., Alan B. Rubens, M.D. and Bruce M. Coull, M.D., the department developed a national reputation for excellence in resident and medical student education, patient care, and research. Our academic mission continues to evolve and the departmental vision is to maintain the best of academic neurology in terms of clinical care, teaching, and research, while adjusting these goals in line with the rapidly changing face of medicine in the 21st century.
Our Department has an active and growing training program for neurology housestaff (see Residency) and medical students (see Clerkship) of the University of Arizona College of Medicine. A number of our faculty members have won teaching awards. Our graduates have gone on to prestigious fellowship programs and have had successful careers in both academic and community neurology. Our sister training program at UPH-Kino Hospital, also in Tucson, has nicely complemented our teaching and service missions.
The Department maintains a very active and busy clinical service rendering inpatient and outpatient services at various hospitals and clinics (see Facilities). Some of our physicians have been named as Best Doctors in America. Outpatient clinics cover all areas of general neurology, as well as several subspecialty areas. Our faculty have expertise in a wide variety of neurological procedures. We have full support from complementary services such as neurosurgery, neuroradiology and vascular surgery, which helps us practice state-of-the art Neurology.
