International Medical Director Mark Stecker MD, PhD, FAAN, FACNS, FASNM
After obtaining his PhD in physics, he obtained his MD through the Harvard-MIT HST program. He completed his neurology residency and fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. He was assistant and associate professor of neurology and division chief for peri-operative neurology. On his move to Geisinger medical center, he directed the epilepsy program and intra-operative neurophysiologic monitoring. He also began a longstanding basic science laboratory studying peripheral nerve physiology. At Marshall University School of Medicine he was the director of the neurophysiology lab, assistant chair for neurology. During his time at Marshall, he also was director of the stroke program and lead the new program to Joint Commission Certification. He was also involved in the movement disorder program at Marshall and was chair of the medical school curriculum committee. His next position was as the founding chair of neuroscience at Winthrop University Hospital. This was followed by time as chief of neurology at CCFMG/UCSF Fresno. He currently is president of the Fresno Institute of Neuroscience. He spends much of his clinical care providing neurology services to the underserved.
