title: A private practice model for teaching and research activities.
abstract: The majority of neurologists in the United States are in fee for service patient management, dividing their time between hospital and office based practice. Many have had subspecialty training or have had research experience. It is our belief that research should be a component of a neurologist's practice. This is particularly true for an assessment of outcome. In order to accomplish this, we have developed a system which includes patient management, teaching, and clinical research, within our fee for service model.
