Strong communication skills and a commitment to consulting with referring veterinarians and clients are essential.
Neurology manages approximately 1,200 cases annually out of the 27,400 small animal patients seen each year at UWVC.

Additionally, the hospital has a dedicated LCSW who meets with clients and offers support groups.
In 2024, UWVC opened a new state-of-the-art hospital. Neurology now has access to an expansive designated surgical suite, including an intraoperative 3D C-Arm, surgical microscope, and CUSA. For advanced imaging, UWVC has a 3T GE MRI, CT, and PET/CT in-house. The Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research (WIMR), located two blocks from UWVC, have PET/MR and a 4.7T designated research MRI. The Neurology Service has a brand-new fully loaded Natus electrodiagnostic machine, as well as two ambulatory EEG units (one Cadwell and one Natus).
