Jason Jonathon Sico, MD, MHS, is a dual-board-certified neurologist and primary care internist serving as Associate Professor of Neurology and Internal Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. He holds significant leadership roles at VA Connecticut Healthcare System as Director of Research and Clinical Care for the Headache Center of Excellence and Director of the HCoE RE3ACH research center. His clinical practice focuses on headache disorders and stroke care for veterans, while his research examines health services delivery, implementation science, and systems redesign in neurological care.
Education includes:
- MHS, Yale University School of Medicine (2016)
- VA Special Fellowship in Neuroscience, VA Connecticut Healthcare System (2011)
- Residency in Neurology and Internal Medicine, Yale New Haven Hospital (2009)
- MD, Temple University School of Medicine (2003)
- BS, University of Scranton (1999)
Dr. Sico's research spans three primary domains: 1) Optimization of headache care through innovative care models and telehealth in the Veterans Health Administration; 2) Stroke care improvements focusing on secondary prevention, hypertension control, and post-stroke sleep apnea management; and 3) Healthcare system interventions using Lean Six Sigma methodologies to enhance care coordination between primary and specialty care. His work frequently examines military exposures and neurological comorbidities in veteran populations.
His recent publications demonstrate strong focus on headache epidemiology, stroke outcomes research, and healthcare delivery innovations. Work frequently incorporates implementation science frameworks and examines system-level interventions. Recent studies show particular emphasis on telehealth integration, veteran-specific health disparities, and interdisciplinary care models for complex neurological conditions.
Scientific recognitions include:
- Board of Directors, National Headache Foundation
- Clinical Epidemiology Fellow, American Heart Association
- Young Investigator Awards from American Neurological Association and CROI
- International Health Scholar, Johnson & Johnson
As National Director of VA's Headache Centers of Excellence, Dr. Sico oversees educational programs, telehealth initiatives, and standardized care algorithms across 70+ facilities. He co-developed VA's national telestroke program and leads implementation studies through VA HSR&D PRIME and Precision Monitoring QUERI. His policy work includes serving on committees for AAN, American Headache Society, and American College of Physicians.
He maintains active involvement in the Center for Neuroepidemiology and Clinical Neurological Research at Yale, focusing on pragmatic trials and organizational interventions to improve neurological care delivery systems.
