Jason Sico, MD, MHS, is a neurologist and internal medicine physician who sees patients at the VA Medical Center in West Haven, where he specializes in headache and stroke care. One of the best parts of his job, he adds, is his dual training as a neurologist and internist. “I did this to be able to look at neurologic diseases that are common in primary care. There aren’t enough neurologists in the country, which is expected to get worse as the population continues to age and we see more diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s,” he says. Dr. Sico also helped establish a national telestroke program across the Veterans Health Administration.
