The Department of Neurology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine comprises clinicians, scientists, and clinician-scientists who care for patients, teach medical students, residents, and fellows, and conduct basic, clinical, and translational research. The mission of the department is to provide the highest quality care and treatment for patients with neurological disorders. The department strives to advance new therapies, develop and implement educational programs, and conduct basic and clinical research to uncover the causes and cures of central and peripheral neurologic diseases. Patient care and clinical teaching occur through the Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation, the multispecialty group practice staffed by full-time medical school faculty members, and in the affiliated hospitals of the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University.
