The Department of Neurology at UICOM-P is currently comprised of
seventeen full-time neurologists at OSF Saint Francis Medical
Center representing several Neurology subspecialties. In
addition, there is a neuropharmacologist (Ph.D.) and three
registered nurses who work in Neurology research on a full-time
basis. A senior neuropathologist in the Department of Pathology
works closely with the Neurology department. Three pediatric
neurologists have primary appointments with the Department of
Pediatrics and secondary appointments with the Department of Neurology.
The Department of Radiology has five full-time neuroradiologists and
three interventional neuroradiologists. In terms of technology,
state-of-the-art equipment for neuroradiologic testing is
available, including three MRI units and three CT scanners.
Invasive neuroradiology, with extensive expertise in this area, is
available at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. Two additional
neuroradiologists are located at Methodist Medical Center which
also houses an active PET scanner.
The Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology share an Intensive
Care Unit with 31 beds and a general service with 45 additional
beds. The occupancy rate is nearly 100%. A rehabilitation unit
is available with a capacity of about 26 beds for neurologic and
neurosurgical patients.
The outpatient service is a large facility with ten examining
rooms and six full-time nurses. A Neurology Clinic at the VA
Outpatient Clinic located in Peoria is run one half day weekly with
participation by the Neurology residents. In addition, inpatient
and outpatient coverage of Pekin Hospital is part of the
department's function. Outreach clinics in Pekin and Canton are
staffed by members of the department.
Subspecialty Neurology clinics include the OSF Stroke Unit,
Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Neuro-ophthalmology Clinic,
