Welcome Gerald Tuite, M.D., pediatric neurosurgeon From Tampa Bay, Fla., where he served as the Pediatric Neurosurgery Division director at the University of South Florida, Tuite completed his neurosurgical residency at the University of Michigan. Following his residency, he completed a one-year fellowship at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children at Queen Square in London, where he concentrated on the treatment of craniofacial disorders, spinal anomalies and the surgical treatment of epilepsy. He then spent an additional year at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, where he focused on the treatment of children with brain tumors.   Tuite was drawn to MUSC by the unique combination of strong pediatric clinical, research and teaching opportunities all within the context of an evolving neurosurgical division of the highest caliber. “I believe in the synergy created by bringing the clinical and research aspects of neuroscience under one roof,” he says. “At MUSC, we are in a unique position to make real, enduring changes in the way we care for children with neurological disease through our combined efforts in the neuroscience department.”  Friday, Sept. 23, 2005 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
