Dr. Erin Neil completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame. She completed a DO at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. Her interest in pediatric neurology began after she discovered how much can be learned from the neurologic examination, the beauty of childhood development and the possibility of strong connections with pediatric patients and their families.
She completed a pediatric neurology residency at Wayne State University/Children’s Hospital of Michigan and a fellowship in pediatric neuromuscular medicine at University of Texas Southwestern/Children’s Medical Center, Dallas TX. At the University of Michigan, she is a clinical associate professor in the department of Pediatrics, division of neurology and director of the pediatric neuromuscular program. She leads the coordinating center for Spinal Muscular Atrophy newborn screening at U of M for the state of Michigan. Her clinical interests include multidisciplinary care of patients with neuromuscular disorders, clinical trials for rare neurologic diseases, newborn screening, and early treatment, including gene therapy, for patients with neuromuscular disorders.
