Megan Shanks, MD joined Rush University Neurologists in December 2004. She received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Northwestern University in 1988 and went on to obtain her medical degree from Rush Medical College in 1993. After finishing a residency in neurology at UC San Diego in 1997, Dr. Shanks went on to receive advanced training as a neurophysiology EMG fellow at the Cleveland Clinic in 1998. She practiced general neurology from 1998 to 2003 in the Chicago north shore area. During that time she treated a wide range of neurologic disorders, in particular stroke and neuromuscular disease, lectured at public health fairs, and served as an examiner for the ABPN.
At Rush from 2004 through 2006 she specialized in neurocritical care and stroke. Since 2006 she has focused on neuromuscular disease, and is proud to be a part of the muscular dystrophy team at the Rush MDA clinic. She is board certified in neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and vascular neurology, and ASN certified in neurosonology. Dr. Shanks' specialty interests are in nerve and muscle disease. Dr. Shanks is delighted to be an active participant in residency education and patient care. |
