Welcome from the Chair

Welcome to the site of the Department of Neurology, University of Florida College of Medicine — Jacksonville. Our department is a proud member of the University of Florida as well as the UF Health enterprise. We provide world-class care across Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia and engage in leading-edge research and teaching.

Our faculty are nationally renowned experts in their fields, delivering world-class care across a variety of subspecialty neurologic services. Our clinical locations are located across Northeast Florida.

In collaboration with Select Rehabilitation, we operate a 48-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital at UF Health North. Our department also oversees the Leon L. Haley Jr., MD, Brain Wellness Program. This program allows veterans and first responders with traumatic brain injury the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art care. And we are especially proud of the fact that our Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit is one of very few in the country that brings stroke care directly to the patient, no matter where they are, to give them the fastest intervention they need before reaching the hospital, thereby improving clinical outcomes.

Our department is also responsible for the neurology education of third- and fourth-year medical students from the University of Florida and other medical schools. We offer an ACGME-accredited neurology residency program as well as a vascular neurology fellowship program and delight in training the next generation of physicians and neurologists.

Our researchers are involved in world class research and are committed to being at the forefront of neuroscience inquiry and discovery. These include both investigator-initiated studies as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnology-related clinical trials.

Thank you for going over our website in order to obtain a comprehensive view of our department. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries you may have.
