Department of Neurology

HOD's Message

There are many recent advances in neurology and a grand revolution is underway and we are harmonizing clinical care, research and teaching to improve the field of neurology and neurological patient care.

Dr. Shankar Prasad Gorthi

Department of Neurology

Many new developments happened and are happening in the field of neurology and our concepts of disease are changing, and our ability to diagnose is becoming more precise, and the impact of our therapies is ever-more profound and meaningful. As a result, many things will change: and this process is dynamic. This is a big challenge, and our goal posts keep changing and we are expected to keep pace. so everything requires change and adaptation- how we organize ourselves, how we deliver care, how we conduct research, how we measure outcomes, what we teach our trainees, and how we are valued and compensated. But one thing will not change – the patient will remain at the center of all we do guiding our way.

So, as we usher in a most remarkable era of medicine, we will harmonize and re-imagine the best of who we are to implement these advances, to practice genuine person-centered care and to confront the inequities that remain throughout our health care system. It is in this spirit that we have developed our Department Strategic Plan, Our Plan Includes 3 Strategic Goals

  • Provision of a state of art comprehensive neurological Clinical service.
  • A Neurosciences Research hub
  • High standard neurology education with personal touch

These 3 Strategic Goals are supported by a 5-Year Strategy and an Implementation Action Plan. I am forever grateful to Bharati Vidyapeeth for hugely supporting our department. It has been a thoughtful, collaborative, and rewarding process of discovery, growth and emerging clarity. I look forward to working with all my colleagues in neurology and other departments in college and hospital and hope to steadfastly pursue our strategic goals and as we build on our legacy to provide the best care to our patients; improve the health of our community; discover new causes, treatments and cures; train the brightest new talents; develop future leaders and educators; and support our amazing faculty, providers and staff every day. Long Live BVMC.
