Message from the Chair Welcome to the Department of Neurology at the University of Minnesota, in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, birth place and headquarters of the American Academy of Neurology. Our mission is to advance the care and treatment of patients with neurological disorders. To do so we believe we must be leaders in taking discovery from the bench to the bedside through the development of programs of excellence in basic and clinical research. Development of these programs positions us to deliver state of the art clinical care provided by physicians who are leaders in their field. As a result the department has expertise in a broad range of clinical neurology subspecialties that provide the foundation for our clinical, research and educational programs. We understand the importance of training outstanding academic neurologists who will lead us into the future and have dedicated physicians on our faculty who recognize the importance of establishing and maintaining superior educational programs for resident and fellowship training.
