Your Career in Neurology
What do neurologists treat?
Neurologists treat an ever-growing variety of conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. These include diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, brain tumors, and countless others.
Neurologists are essential in the care of diverse conditions with a wide array of treatments. Even though we are all neurologists, our subspecialty and lifestyle preferences can make a huge difference in what our daily lives look like. And neurology is more diverse than ever before.
Do neurologists play a role in legislation?
Neurologists are dedicated to ensuring that patients everywhere have access to high-quality care and that adequate research funding continues to advance treatments for patients. Through our advocacy organizations, political action campaigns, and visits to our legislators, neurologists work both inside and outside of clinic for the benefit of our patients.
