Dr. Steve Brint is an Associate Professor of Neurology. He was formerly the Associate Dept. Head and residency training Program Director for 15 years. Clinically, he is now actively involved in the General Neurology Section and in medical education. He has won several teaching awards including the American Academy of Neurology’s A.B. Baker Award and departmental John S. Garvin Faculty of the Year Award (2007, 2008)
Dr Brint received his medical degree from the Hahnemann Medical College (now Drexel University Medical School) in Philadelphia in 1980. He completed his Neurology Residency training at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and then completed a three year fellowship in cerebrovascular disease under Fred Plum, MD and William Pulsinelli, MD, PhD at Cornell Medical College (now Weil Medical School) in New York City.
Dr. Brint is certified in Neurology and in Vascular Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Dr. Brint’s research interests have included functional imaging with oxygen-17 MRI and SPECT. More recently his has devoted his energies toward the science of medical education and learning. He has clinical interests in migraine, multiple sclerosis, neurosarcoidosis and epilepsy.
