The Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic is a highly integrated,
collaborative department of adult and pediatric neurologists who
specialize in the research, diagnosis and treatment of over 500
conditions and diseases affecting the nervous system.
More than 80 specialists provide both one-time evaluation and continuing
care for patients with neurologic disease. Close collaboration with
specialists in pediatric and adolescent medicine, speech pathology,
neurosurgery, psychiatry and psychology, pain management, sleep
disorders and physical medicine and rehabilitation offer Mayo Clinic
patients comprehensive care.
The Neurology staff at Mayo Clinic in Rochester includes five behavioral
neurology specialists. Each consultant has considerable experience
in evaluating and treating patients with complex neurobehavioral
disorders, and each has his own particular interests, expertise,
and approach to patient diagnosis and management. All fellows have
found this varied exposure very educational, which then allows fellows
to develop their own style for evaluating and managing patients.
The staff has collectively published hundreds of manuscripts in
peer-reviewed journals and contributed towards many well-known books.

their work during morning and late afternoon lectures. Residents
and fellows are encouraged to take full advantage of these opportunities
to interact with experts from other academic centers and are relieved
from clinical assignments to do so.
