I was fortunate to go to Duke Medical School and to Johns Hopkins where I was trained in neurology. I spent time at the NIH in research and was in academic medicine for several years before I decided that I could probably have a little more hands on, have a little more control over the quality of care that is given than I actually could in academics. Through that training, I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of research, ongoing clinical research as well as basic research to keep your mind and your ability to help patients up to date and sharp. I think we give that approach to patients at our Institute that is maybe not available in other nonacademic centers.
