Department of Neurology - Division of Child Neurology
The Department of Neurology is proud to be one of the most prominent academic and clinical department at the University of Rochester Medical Center. The Department includes 12 divisions committed to compassionate clinical care, educational excellence, and innovative research. The team comprises nearly 120 faculty members, over 40 advanced practice providers, 70 residents and fellows, and 225 staff.
The Division of Child Neurology provides leading-edge neurological care, combining the most advanced subspecialty expertise with cutting-edge treatments with an emphasis on access, quality, and excellence. The Division of Child Neurology offers state-of-the-art services by nationally known physicians with the highest levels of training and the most regional experience. The division currently has 22 faculty physicians, 2 neuropsychologist, 1 genetic counselor, 7 advanced practice providers, 3 nurses, 2 research coordinators, a dietician, and a social worker who provide multidisciplinary care at the Golisano Children’s Hospital from a catchment area that extends beyond the Pennsylvania state line to the South, into Vermont to the East and beyond Buffalo to the West. They provide services to approximately 10,000 outpatient visits annually.
The Division of Child Neurology works closely with both the Departments of Neurology and Pediatrics and includes subspecialty programs in movement disorders, neuromuscular disease, demyelinating diseases, epilepsy, leukodystrophies, neurogenetics, neurodevelopmental disabilities, neurocritical care, neuro-infectious disease, functional neurological disorders, and neuropalliative care. The Division is the largest Child Neurology program in NY State and provides national and international care for patients with neurological diseases, including rare diseases, who travel to Rochester to access expert care.
The Division and its URMC Neuroscience investigators are leaders in experimental therapeutics, and are uniquely positioned to enhance rare disease research, gene therapy clinical trials, and to train early-stage investigators to be leaders in the field. Supporting academic programs with worldwide reach include Batten’s disease, spinal muscular atrophy, Duchene muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, KCNT1 epilepsy, Pompe’s disease, Krabbe Disease, Rett syndrome, and TANGO2 disease. Extensive collaborations with the Del Monte Neuroscience Institute, the University of Rochester Intellectual Developmental Disease Research Center, the Center for Health and Technology, and the Center for Translational Neuromedicine support clinical trial readiness activities to be at the cutting edge of therapeutic development, including first-in-disease trials.
Education remains the heart and soul of the Department and Division. The Child Neurology Residency program recently increased to three residents per year and is one of the top ranked training programs in the country. Graduating medical students enter the field of child neurology at a rate higher than most any other medical school in the country. The Division supports a growing number of subspecialty fellowships to reflect the need for sub-specialization including fellowships in epilepsy, neurophysiology, neuromuscular disease, movement disorders, demyelinating disease, neurocritical care, headache, and palliative care. These fellowships are often combined with research career development training, including support from a NINDS-funded T32 training program in experimental therape
