Neurology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system.

The Division of Neurology at Ottawa’s Department of Medicine is pursuing a vision for growth by focusing on key areas of subspecialty interest: Stroke, Movement Disorders, Neuromuscular Disorders and Multiple Sclerosis. Each specialty area is rooted in a strong dedication and state-of-the-art expertise in the care of our patients, complemented by active multidisciplinary clinical research and closely linked to basic neuroscience research at the University level. The Division of Neurology has achieved considerable success in research productivity, publications, and grant funding – while keeping a clear focus on our duty to both patients and community. In the past few years, the Division of Neurology has been successful in recruiting several high tier clinician scientists and dedicated clinical teachers. This has also been an exciting time of expansion with the opening of the new Neuromuscular Centre.
