Chairman Steve Goldman, MD, PhD, describes the future of Rochester Neurology.
URMC Neurology
Dedicated to Excellence
Welcome to the Department of Neurology of the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry. Rochester’s neurology department has a long tradition as one of the premier neurology training programs in the United States. First established by Dr. Robert J. Joynt in 1966 - 1986 and then expanded between 1987 - 2007 by Dr. Robert C. Griggs. The Department now has over 130 faculty. This includes 90 full-time academic faculty, 21 faculty in other departments with secondary appointments in neurology, and 11 faculty at other institutions with adjunct appointments in neurology. In 2009, extramural research support totaled $31 million, and the department has consistently ranked within the top 6 nationally in NIH research funding. Yet rather than rest on its laurels, the department is again aggressively expanding further, with a total of 22 new faculty recruits anticipated over the next 5 years, as part of the University of Rochester’s strategic plan for 2009-13.
