David M. Kaufman
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">David Myland Kaufman, Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, was graduated from the medical school of the University of Chicago and completed training in internal medicine and then neurology at Montefiore Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM) hospitals. During his residency, Dr. Kaufman originated the nation-wide course, which he still directs, Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists. More than 25,500 psychiatry residents and attendings have attended the course, which has served as the basis for his classic textbook, <em>Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists</em>, (Elsevier) currently in its eighth edition and available in Italian, Japanese, and Spanish translations. He is also a co-editor of <em>Child and Adolescent Neurology for Psychiatrists</em> (Lippincott).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dr. Kaufman has also been a visiting professor at Ben Gurion University, Yale University, Pritzger / University of Chicago, and other American medical schools, and U.S. Naval Medical Centers, as well as a frequent lecturer at AECOM. He is a member of medical school's Leo M. Davidoff Society for excellence in teaching. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">In addition to his educational role at AECOM hospitals, Dr. Kaufman in partnership with Dr. Michael Swerdlow founded the quintessential neurology faculty practice K&S at Montefiore Hospital. K&S is the largest and longest surviving faculty practice in the institution. Drs. Kaufman and Swerdlow also give neurology consultation and attending rounds and supervise neurology clinics at Montefiore. In the clinics and faculty practice, Dr. Kaufman concentrates on the neurologic aspects of psychiatric illness and movement disorders. He works closely with the psychiatrists and, for botulinum treatment of certain dystonias, the neuromuscular group. Dr. Kaufman is the 2007 recipient of Montefiore's Staff and Alumni award for outstanding service.</span></p>

<p>David Kaufman, MD, an attending physician and Professor of Neurology and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Montefiore Einstein, concentrates on the neurologic aspects of psychiatric illness and movement disorders. He provides neurology consultations for in-patients and out-patients, serves as the attending on consultation and ward rounds, and supervises neurology clinics at Montefiore Einstein. He works closely with psychiatrists and, for botulinum treatment of certain dystopias, the neuromuscular group.</p><p>After earning his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Rochester in 1964, Dr. Kaufman earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Chicago School of Medicine in 1968. He pursued his postdoctoral training at Montefiore, completing his internal medicine internship and residency in 1971. In 1975, he completed the four-year neurology residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine hospitals. He has been a steadfast member of Montefiore and Einstein communities ever since.</p><p>From his research interests, Dr. Kaufman has published clinical studies of central nervous system infections, heroin overdose-induced pulmonary edema, COVID’s effect on Parkinson disease patients, and other topics. He has been a member of editorial boards for Internal Medicine Bulletin and Medical Meetings: Pearls & Perspectives, and a consultant and reviewer for numerous medical journals. He teaches medical students in their neuroscience course, psychiatry and neurology residents, and psychiatrists preparing for their Board examinations. He has been a Visiting Professor at Ben Gurion University, Yale University, Pritzker/University of Chicago, and other American medical schools, and at U.S. Naval Medical Centers, as well as a frequent lecturer at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.</p><p>Dr. Kaufman innovated the long-standing, annual, national course, Clinical Neurology and Psychiatry for Psychiatrists, developed a noteworthy neuropsychiatry seminar and authored the book, <em>Kaufman’s Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists</em>, now in its 9th edition.</p><p>Dr. Kaufman is board certified in Internal Medicine, and Psychiatry and Neurology. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology and the American College of Physicians. He is also a member of the American Neuropsychiatric Association and the Movement Disorder Society. A devoted educator, Dr. Kaufman has received many accolades for his excellence in medical teaching, including induction into the Leo M. Davidoff Society in 1993, the American Academy of Neurology award in 2001 and the Montefiore Staff and Alumni Award in 2007.</p>

Sheryl R. Haut
<p>Dr. Sheryl Haut is Director of the Adult Epilepsy Program and Chief of Service, Neurology at Montefiore Einstein. She is the previous Chair of the North American Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy. Her research interests include: the temporal distribution of seizures, with emphasis on seizure clustering; seizure prediction and pre-emption; and alternative therapies for epilepsy. She is currently conducting electronic diary studies of seizure prediction and was the Principal Investigator of the first randomized controlled trial of stress management for refractory epilepsy using smartphone diaries. Dr. Haut has a Masters in Clinical Research Methods, and completed a K23 career development award from the NIH. She maintains an active adult epilepsy practice at Montefiore Medical Center, Moses Division.</p>
Dr. Haut focuses on the special needs of epilepsy patients, such as pregnancy, stress, driving, work-related issues and issues in the elderly.
