Resident of the Month, February 2012

Congratulations to Dr. Sean Udow!

Dr. Udow is always  looking for ways to improve education for residents and medical students.  Without him, the Neurology program would be a vastly different group of people.  Over the past 2 years, Dr. Udow has shown tremendous initiative in improving the program, improving the experience that off-service residents and medical students have during their rotations, and in bringing the residents of the Neurology program together.  On top of this, he is also an eminently competent physician.
