Department Overview: The Department of Neurology at Peking University Third Hospital is a key development department of the hospital. Under the leadership of senior experts such as Kang Dexuan and Li Meilin, and through the unremitting efforts of new-generation academic leaders including Fan Dongsheng, the department has achieved domestic leading levels in many aspects of clinical service, education, and research after decades of development, with some areas approaching internationally advanced standards. The department is currently divided into multiple sections including outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, emergency services, and examination rooms, and is equipped with a stroke unit and an emergency stroke green channel, with a total of 105 inpatient beds, providing patients with greater access to medical care and a better treatment environment. In recent years, the department's clinical capabilities have improved year by year, with increasingly refined subspecialties. The annual outpatient volume is approximately 130,000 visits, emergency visits number 20,000, the average annual number of discharged patients is approximately 1,100, and the average length of hospital stay is 14.95 days. In recent years, the department has been successively recognized as a National Key Clinical Specialty by the Ministry of Health, a Beijing Key Discipline, a Doctoral Discipline and Postdoctoral Mobile Station of the Ministry of Education, a National Clinical Pharmacology Base, a National Health and Family Planning Commission Stroke Screening and Prevention Base Hospital, and a Beijing Specialist Training Base. The department ranks among the top in the Beijing DRGs (Diagnosis-Related Groups) specialty rankings, and its "Neurology" course has been rated as a National Excellent Course by the Ministry of Education. It has hosted a series of influential continuing education programs such as the "Peking University Stroke Forum" and the "National EMG and Clinical Neurophysiology Training Course." The department has secured nearly 10 million RMB in national and provincial/ministerial research funding, published hundreds of papers in domestic and international academic journals, and established collaborative relationships with internationally renowned universities including Stanford University (USA), Ulm University (Germany), and the University of Queensland (Australia). It maintains the world's largest single-center case database for motor neuron disease, exerting significant international influence in this field. The Cerebrovascular Disease Center, jointly established with the Department of Neurosurgery and the Department of Interventional Vascular Surgery, has accumulated extensive experience in acute-phase intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and secondary prevention management. As a "National Youth Civilization Unit," a Beijing Advanced Worker's Home, and a Peking University Model Worker's Home, the department serves as one of the exemplary models within the national healthcare system. Personnel Structure: The Department of Neurology currently has 122 staff members, including 68 physicians, 54 nurses, and 6 clinical technicians; among them, 27 hold senior professional titles and 22 hold intermediate professional titles. Additionally, there are 4 re-employed professors/chief physicians. The department's personnel are in the prime of their careers, with complementary expertise and individual strengths. The department has 4 doctoral supervisors (currently 1 active) and 10 master's supervisors (currently 4 active), and serves as a postdoctoral workstation for neurology, having trained over 100 graduate students to date. Scope of Diagnosis and Treatment: The department currently operates multiple specialized groups covering motor neuron disease, cerebrovascular disease, neuroelectrophysiology, neuromuscular and genetic disorders, neuroimmunology, Parkinson's disease, cognitive disorders, neuropathic pain, and sleep disorders, and is equipped with independent neuroelectrophysiology and neuropathology laboratories capable of performing a wide range of routine and specialized examinations. Over the past decade, the department has developed steadily with continuously enhanced capabilities, and was selected for the National Key Clinical Specialty Construction Project in Neurology in both 2012 and 2024. Departmental Strengths and Features: The department's signature specialty is motor neuron disease, and it houses the largest diagnosis, treatment, and research center for motor neuron disease in China. While providing greater access to care for patients, it has also established the world's largest single-center clinical database and biobank for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, with considerable international influence. The department fully leverages its traditional strengths in electrophysiological research, emphasizing the continuation of this legacy, and has in recent years cultivated young and middle-aged key physicians including Zhang Shuo, Wang Juan, Huang Runzhou, and Cai Xiao. The department organizes the National EMG and Clinical Electrophysiology Training Course annually, which holds considerable academic influence nationwide and has contributed to raising the standard of electrophysiological examination in China. Furthermore, in October 2014, the department jointly established the "Peking University Third Hospital Cerebrovascular Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center" in collaboration with the Departments of Neurosurgery, Interventional Radiology, and Ultrasound, and was designated as a National Health Commission "Stroke Screening and Prevention Base Hospital" and "Advanced Stroke Center" in April 2015. Through continuous effort and dedication, the Department of Neurology at Peking University Third Hospital has now developed into a modern integrated center for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and academic research in neurological diseases, encompassing medical care, education, research, and nursing, with considerable influence in the national academic community of neurology. These achievements would not have been possible without the strategic planning of successive departmental leaders, the diligent efforts of all departmental colleagues, the strong support of sister departments and peers nationwide, and, most importantly, the unwavering care and support of hospital leadership over the years.
