The Division of Neurology research efforts are supported by strong research infrastructure in the Department of Medicine, as well as at Dalhousie University and Capital Health.
Research keeps us on the leading edge of medical care and ensures a stimulating, vibrant and rewarding environment that attracts gifted faculty, residents, students, collaborators, resources and funding.
