Child Neurology
Division Chief
Founded in the early 20th century by renowned neurologist Dr. Bernard Sachs (Tay-Sachs disease), the Division of Child Neurology at The Neurological Institute of New York/Columbia University Irving Medical Center was the first service in the nation focused solely on the distinct neurological needs of children and their developing nervous systems. This newborn discipline was later formalized at Columbia, under the directorship of Dr. Sidney Carter, whose efforts led to the establishment of formal training guidelines and subspecialty certification for neurologists with special competence in child neurology.
