4 Clinical Individual continuity clinics - Drs. Coslett, Chatterjee, Grossman and Aguirre Tuesdays at HUP Drs. Hamilton and Wolk Ralston center Alzheimer’s Disease Center - Specialty memory disorders clinic Located at the Ralston house on Penn campus Site of Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials Inpatient ward and consult team - All faculty attend on the service teams

5 Educational Wednesday morning didactics - Behavioral neurology lecture series Emphasizes board review and clinical relevance Wednesday morning case conference - Discuss unknown focal lesion cases More discursive format Professor’s Rounds - Dr. Chatterjee gives Professor’s rounds once a month Behavioral neurology clinic rotation - Twice weekly during ambulatory rotation as JAR

6 Research Six independent research laboratories - Extensive collaboration between labs Excellent geographic proximity Extensive grant support - Many R01s, program project cores Additional foundation support Long training history - The section has trained 23 graduate and post-graduate students Residents from Penn have entered behavioral neurology each of the past four years (and likely this year as well)
