Jeffrey Dewey, MD, MHS is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine. He serves as Associate Program Director of the Neurology Residency, Director of Wellness for the Neurology Residency, and Director of the Neurology Clerkship. Dr. Dewey specializes in neuromuscular medicine, treating patients with conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Lou Gehrig's disease.

Dr. Dewey's research interests center on medical education and neurology training:

• Neuromuscular medicine and disorders
• Resident and medical student education
• Neurology curriculum development
• Physician wellness and professional development
• Bedside teaching methodologies
• Neuropathy and peripheral nerve disorders

His publication record shows a strong emphasis on improving neurology education systems, particularly through his work on the Neurology Milestones 2.0 project which standardizes competency assessment across residency programs.

Dr. Dewey's clinical philosophy emphasizes logical diagnostic approaches to neuromuscular conditions, stating that 'the nervous system has sort of a roadmap, especially in the peripheral nervous system, so it's a lot of trying to figure out through logic, asking the right questions, and looking at the right things.' He prioritizes providing patients with clear answers and ongoing support throughout their medical journey.
