My bio

Hello, my name is Dr. Maria Bruzzone. I received my medical degree from the Universidad de la República, Uruguay. I then pursued a neurology residency at Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, which I completed in 2016. Following my residency, I completed a fellowship training in Neurophysiology/Epilepsy at the University of Chicago Medical Center in 2017.

I also participated in different short-term training programs like the J. Kiffin Penry Epilepsy Education Programs and Minifellow Network: Resident Program in Epilepsy, North Carolina (2014); the Neurology Residency Epilepsy Program in Orlando, Miami (2015); the Neurologist in training Clinical Ethics Elective of the American Academy of Neurology (2015-2016) and the Epilepsy-Patient Oriented Research Training (EpiPORT) program of the American Epilepsy Society (2016).

I am board certified in neurology and epilepsy, and I am a fluent in Spanish (native speaker).
