The Department of Neurology is proud to present the Class of 2020 and end-of-year awards! Although the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic prevented a formal ceremony for graduating residents and fellows, on June 10, Dr. Jeremy Moeller hosted the graduating Class of 2020 at his home for a socially distanced celebration, where well-wishers from across the department were able to send virtual congratulations through Zoom.
