"The Department of Neurology seems to be in a constant state of flux, with the recent loss of the IT Director and the Business Director. Both are busy trying to make their mark on the department, restructuring departments and making cuts that are impacting the users ability to perform their jobs, and making the lives of their patients more difficult in the process. I would highly recommend avoiding the Department of Neurology at Washington University."
