This spring, Faulkner Hospital appointed David Pilgrim, MD, chief of Clinical Neurology, and Calvin A. Brown, III, MD, associate chief of Emergency Medicine.
As chief of Clinical Neurology, Pilgrim works closely with Martin Samuels, MD, chair of the BW/F Department of Neurology. Pilgrim focuses on increasing the visibility and availability of neurology services at Faulkner and participates in formal teaching of medical residents and other clinicians about the diagnosis and treatment of neurologic diseases.
Pilgrim, who joins Faulkner from Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, attended Amherst College and Cornell University Medical College. He trained in medicine at the Miriam Hospital in Providence and neurology at BIDMC, BWH and Children’s Hospital Boston. He was a Kaiser Fellow in geriatrics at Harvard and a stroke fellow at the Neurological Institute in New York.
Faulkner also welcomed Brown, who previously served as an attending physician in BWH Emergency Medicine. As Faulkner’s associate chief of Emergency Medicine, he works on continuing the clinical and patient flow improvement initiatives in the Emergency Department, which treats approximately 25,000 patients per year.
Brown graduated from the University of New Hampshire and attended medical school at the University of Mississippi. He completed his training in the Harvard-affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Program, serving as chief resident in his final year.
