The most divine art is that of healing.  And if the healing art is most divine, it must occupy itself with the .. 'brain'.. as well as the body; for no creature can be sound so long as the higher part of it is suffering.

Specialty Clinics

All Neurology outpatient clinics are held at the University Health Center at the offices of the Department of Neurology. Both General Neurology and Specialty Clinics, including, the Neuromuscular Diseases Clinic, Movement Disorders Clinic, Multiple Sclerosis Clinic, Dystonia & Spasticity Clinic, Epilepsy Clinic, Headache and Stroke Clinic are held each week. Approximately 12,000 patient visits occur per year. Residents rotate through these clinics throughout the three years of their residency, and receive a breadth of clinical experience in common and rare neurological disorders. 

The Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory is fully equipped for electroencephalography (EEG) [including ambulatory studies], electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, single fiber electromyography, quantitative motor unit counting, and quantitative sensory threshold determination. The department annually performs about 1,600 EEGs (including polysomnograms), 500 evoked potentials and 1,200 EMGs and nerve conduction studies. The neurology program sponsors a fourth year of neurology training in clinical neurophysiology. The directors of the EEG, VT Regional Sleep Center, and EMG laboratories are specialty board certified neurologists. The department also has access to facilities for non-invasive carotid and vertebrobasilar blood flow studies, including transcranial doppler studies. 

The neuro-radiological facility includes two GE MRI scanner, two rapid CT scanners, one SPECT scanner as well as standard equipment for myelography and angiography. Also, interventional neurovascular capabilities permit state of the art management of stroke.
