The mission of the Department of Neurology at Tulane is to teach, to innovate, and to care. Our vision is to lead change in academic neurology from survivorship to thriver-ship, creating a culture of joy. The Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at Tulane have partnered to create and co-lead the Center for Clinical Neurosciences, with a combined 31 employed faculty. Through our partnership with the LSU Department of Neurology and community neurology partners, Tulane Neurology and the LCMC Health neuroscience service line aspire to developing a multidisciplinary Neuroimmunology/MS Center of Excellence to serve greater New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast and South-Central US regions.
