Our journey
Academics, Education & Research
Education is not a secondary function at United Neuroscience — it is central to who we are. Every one of our Neurologists completed fellowship training at major academic medical centers, bringing the clinical rigor and intellectual culture of those institutions directly into our practice and into every learner we teach. Our hospital affiliations with Dignity Health, Adventist Health, and Essentia Health give trainees exposure to a broad range of neurological presentations across multiple clinical settings.
Residents, fellows, medical students, and clinical staff rotate through our inpatient and outpatient programs regularly — learning alongside fellowship-trained Neurologists and Neurosurgeons in real clinical environments that demand precision, compassion, and continuous growth. We are a community neurology group with the soul of an academic center — and we are proud of it.
Where Innovation Meets Education
Our academic programs are built on long-standing collaborations with Morehouse School of Medicine and USC. Residents rotate through our inpatient neurology service, gaining hands-on exposure to acute stroke, Neurocritical Care, and complex neurological consultation. We also regularly welcome residents, fellows, and medical students from training programs across the region — known for being approachable, rigorous, and genuinely invested in the growth of every learner who comes through our doors.
Teaching at UNI happens everywhere — in the hospital, the clinic, and the conference room. Our Neurologists conduct formal teaching rounds, guide trainees through complex neurological examinations, and discuss clinical reasoning in real time at every visit. Our biweekly UNI Neuroscience Case Conference brings together Neurologists, trainees, and hospital partners for collaborative, case-based learning spanning challenging cases, emerging literature, and subspecialty updates.
Beyond weekly conferences, our team participates in local and national neurology symposia, supports poster presentations and abstracts at national meetings, and contributes to peer-reviewed publications in stroke, cerebrovascular disease, and neurovascular science. We are a group that is growing, publishing, and collaborating — and we have no intention of slowing down.
