It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Neurology at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. The Department of Neurology has been a center of clinical and academic excellence since 1995. Our three-part mission includes meeting the health-care needs of patients with neurological issues, advancing knowledge through research in the clinical and basic neurosciences, and training the next generation of neurologists in our residency program.
Through our commitment to research, we continue to gain insight and understanding into the normal and abnormal functions of the human nervous system and how to care for related disorders. We are then able to share the knowledge gained and results of this research with our colleagues at the University, across the nation, and around the world. The benefits of our research are better health care and treatment options for patients and their families.
