There are additionally over 2600 outpatient visits to the neurology subspecialty clinics and 3000 inpatient neurological consultations performed at the medical center. St. Vincent's provides an excellent exposure to a wide variety of neurological diseases. The neurology division is particularly strong in cerebrovascular disease, neuromuscular disease, pediatric neurology, adult and pediatric epilepsy, pain management, and HIV neurology. In 2006 St. Vincent's was one of the first hospitals in Manhattan to receive designation by New York State as a Comprehensive Stoke Center. The division has a state of the art electrophysiology laboratory, which provides EMG, NCS, EEG, video -EEG, and intra-operative monitoring services. The medical center has highly regarded Neurosurgery, Neuro-radiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and a world-renowned department of Behavioral Health. These very active and excellent departments are integrated in the teaching program and compliment and enhance the neurology residency training.
This combination of location, commitment to medical education, patient diversity and a multi-disciplinary approach to neurological education, make St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan an ideal environment for learning the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders.
