Elliott Marcus, MD, Lectureship

Elliott M. Marcus, MD, and professor with a passion in neuroscience and neurology developed and organized the academic neurology service in 1976, in collaboration with UMass Chan Medical School and St. Vincent's Hospital in Worcester and a former professor establishing the neuroscience teaching program at Tufts Medical School.

Marcus continued to teach neurology to students and residents after retiring from his administrative position in 1998. Tufts and UMass recognized him through his various teaching awards. He was a polished author and published many research papers in the field of epilepsy. He co-authored four neuroscience textbooks with Stanley Jacobson, MD, and was working on a new revision of his first book, An Introduction to the Neurosciences, at the time of his death in 2011.
