A Conversation with Dr. Jim Siegler: The Subspecialty of Vascular Neurology
Welcome back to the Neurophilia Podcast! In today's episode, we are joined by the podcast legend himself, Dr. Jim Siegler to discuss vascular neurology. The field of vascular neurology has had incredible advancements within the past few decades through thrombolytics/mechanical thrombectomy and has seen increased public awareness and accessibility to stroke care. As a result of this, vascular neurology training is consistently among the top fellowships pursued by graduating residents. Listen to this episode to hear more about the subspecialty of vascular neurology!
Dr. Jim Siegler: After obtaining his bachelor’s degrees in Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Technology at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Jim Siegler completed his medical education at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans. He then completed his adult neurology residency and vascular neurology fellowship at UPenn. He currently serves as the Inpatient Medical Director and Director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at the University of Chicago. Dr. Siegler’s research interests include atherosclerotic disease, perfusion imaging, and eligibility of neurointervention for acute intracranial occlusion for which he has published more than 200 peer-reviewed publications. Dr. Siegler is also a passionate medical educator; he is well-known for previously producing an independent podcast titled BrainWaves a well as the official podcasts for the Neurocritical Care Society, American Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association podcast ANA Investigates, but more recently he serves on the e-learning subcommittee of the AAN and helps produce their NeuroBytes, and he serves on the digital strategy team for journal Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology where you might have heard his voice on their podcast, ACCESS.
