About Amit Kandel
I am an accomplished Neurologist and Clinical Researcher with profound expertise in stroke prevention and treatment, spanning both individual patient care and public health viewpoints. My diverse clinical exposure in the U.S. and Nepal encompasses trauma centers, comprehensive stroke centers, emergency departments, ICUs, acute care facilities, and both inpatient and outpatient settings. This varied background positions me effectively for roles in hospital administration, stroke center leadership, health operations, and management, as well as public health consulting.As the Stroke Director at a Comprehensive Stroke Center, I have directed initiatives to refine workflow and bolster quality metrics pertinent to stroke center operations.My present research endeavors concentrate on the utilization of functional MRI and biomarkers to predict stroke outcomes. I am keenly interested in regions with a high prevalence of stroke cases to delve into stroke outcomes and risk factors associated with stroke and traumatic brain injuries. Additionally, I partake in multicentric research trials both in the U.S. and internationally. My past research contributions can be found in peer-reviewed pediatric, neurology, and general medical journals.In my educational capacity, I oversee and mentor medical students and residents, earning numerous accolades for my teaching prowess. As a former neurology clerkship director, I had spearheaded efforts to enhance medical student education through simulation-based neurology training, with a particular emphasis on refining the quality of assessments and evaluations in the neurology clerkship.Complementing my medical expertise is a robust business acumen, encompassing key areas such as Finance, Accounting, Business Leadership, Data Analytics, and Modeling.I am board certified in Neurology, Vascular Neurology, and Brain Injury Medicine.
