Department of Medicine Grand Rounds

Session moderated by Bob Wachter

For the non-neurologist, it may be hard to keep up with all the latest controversies, exciting advances, and paradigm shifts in the management of acute strokes – as chronicled in this week’s New York Times Magazine. In this Grand Rounds, Andy Josephson, chair of the UCSF Department of Neurology and award-winning neurology educator, will bring us up-to-date on the latest in treatments and secondary prevention strategies for patients with strokes and TIAs.

S. Andrew Josephson, MD, is chair of the Department of Neurology at UCSF where he specializes in neurovascular and other neurologic disorders, caring for general neurology and stroke patients in the hospital as well as in clinic. He is the founder of UCSF's Neurohospitalist Program and specializes in difficult to diagnose inpatient neurologic conditions. As a go-to educator in the Department of Neurology, Andy has won numerous teaching awards from medical students and residents at UCSF including being selected to present the keynote address for the School of Medicine Commencement; the Henry J. Kaiser Award for Excellence in Teaching; the Academic Senate Distinction in Teaching Award, and the Robert Layzer Golden Toe Award for resident teaching.
