The Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute will offer a Practical Update in Neurology and Neurosurgery on May 5, 2017.

"The Practical Update is specifically designed to provide new, useful information that providers can apply to their current patient care," said Dr. Larry Goldstein, chair of the Department of Neurology at the UK College of Medicine.

Congratulations to Laura Peterson of McCarthy Lab!

Laura has been awarded a 5 year NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

As a native of Oldham County, the University of Kentucky has always been close to Dr. John van Nagell's heart.

To begin his medical career, van Nagell went Northeast to earn an undergraduate degree at Harvard University and a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania, but says he was always looking to come back to Kentucky.

"I always wanted to come home," van Nagell said. "And when it came time for me to decide where I wanted to undergo further training, the University of Kentucky had just opened an outstanding new medical center."

After releasing news about Department of Surgery providers featured in the “Making the Rounds” series of video featurettes produced by UK HealthCare marketing, two additional videos were found on the YouTube social media channel featuring transplant surgeon Michael Dailey, MD and plastic surgery division chief Henry Vasconez.

To prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, jurors must find evidence a defendant was culpable of a criminal act. Culpability refers to a person’s awareness and mental state, and in cases of criminal conviction, the degree of culpability or “guiltiness” dictates the degree of punishment. Depending on culpability, a punishment ranges from a small fine to life in prison.

On Match Day last Friday, the names of the 2017-18 categorical and surgical interns were announced along with the new residents and fellows in plastic surgery and CT surgery.
