As she assumes the presidency of the Florida Society of Neurology, Dr. Teshamae Monteith’s first priority is to develop programs that improve access to equitable, high-quality neurological care for Florida patients. She is chief of the Headache Division at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and has led research to elucidate the benefits of novel, real-world technologies that prevent migraines and introduce innovative treatments to people with migraines, the most disabling condition in the U.S. for people younger than 50.
Appointed to the International Headache Society Board of Trustees in 2021, Dr. Monteith has earned subspecialty certification from the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties, recognition that acknowledges the significant role she plays in defining the standards of competence for practicing neurologists in the U.S.
“Our goal is to make Florida one of the best places in the country for patients with neurologic disease,” Dr. Monteith says.
