The Division is the largest Child Neurology program in NY State and provides national and international care for patients with neurological diseases, including rare diseases, who travel to Rochester to access expert care.
The Division and its URMC Neuroscience investigators are leaders in experimental therapeutics, and are uniquely positioned to enhance rare disease research, gene therapy clinical trials, and to train early-stage investigators to be leaders in the field. Supporting academic programs with worldwide reach include Batten's disease, spinal muscular atrophy, Duchene muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, KCNT1 epilepsy, Pompe's disease, Krabbe Disease, Rett syndrome, and TANGO2 disease.

Education remains the heart and soul of the Department and Division. The Child Neurology Residency program recently increased to three residents per year and is one of the top ranked training programs in the country. Graduating medical students enter the field of child neurology at a rate higher than most any other medical school in the country. The Division supports a growing number of subspecialty fellowships to reflect the need for sub-specialization including fellowships in epilepsy, neurophysiology, neuromuscular disease, movement disorders, demyelinating disease, neurocritical care, headache, and palliative care. These fellowships are often combined with research career development training, including support from a NINDS-funded T32 training program in experimental therapeutics.
