On behalf of the Department of Neurology at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and The Neurological Institute of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, we welcome you to explore the exceptional patient care, education, and research programs offered throughout our department.This prestigious medical school is among the oldest in the nation and was among the first to establish a dedicated program in the neural sciences. Similarly, The Neurological Institute of New York, established in 1909, was the first specialty hospital in the country devoted entirely to the study and treatment of nervous system disorders. Through a partnership forged in 1921, these two landmark institutions form the foundation of our Department's scholarly and clinical endeavors, continuing a long tradition of innovation and expertise in the field.
