Division of Neurology
Welcome to Neurology
Dr. John Turnbull is head of the Neurology Division at
McMaster University's Department of Medicine.
Welcome to the Division of Neurology website. The Division of Neurology at McMaster is situated administratively in the Department of Medicine, and presently comprises 21 full-time, part-time and emeritus faculty. We are active in all the city hospitals, and through outreach programs, in several outlying areas. The major in-patient neurology service is located at the Hamilton General Hospital, with outpatient activity at MUMC, SJH, and the Juravinski Site.
We are research-intensive, with particular emphasis in neuromuscular disease, ALS, neuropsychiatry, brain trauma and brain restoration, vascular disease, and in the effects of electrical and magnetic brain stimulation, among others. Members of the division participate actively in undergraduate medical education, in residency education- both in our neurology training program and in other residency programs that send rotators through neurology, in fellowship programs, and in CME.
There are specialty clinics in many areas: neuromuscular disease and ALS, neuropathic pain, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, MS, movement disorders, headache, stroke and stroke prevention, neuropsychiatry. We interact with our colleagues in pediatric neurology, psychiatry, and neurosurgery, with colleagues in internal medicine and related subspecialties and with many of the fine neuroscientists and molecular and cellular biologists at McMaster.
