Why did you choose to become part of Michigan State University Neurology?

I felt as though I “fit in” with MSU Neurology.  As a student, the attending physicians were personable and inclusive.  Now, I consider them to be my mentors and friends.  In addition, MSU Neurology includes faculty with a variety of interests and specialties.  Many are leaders in their specialties.
