USA Health Neurologist Recognized With Teaching Award

Dr. William Kilgo, an associate professor of neurology at the Whiddon College of Medicine at the University of South Alabama (USA) and a neurologist at USA Health, recently received the 2025 A.B. Baker Teacher Recognition Award by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). “Part of getting this award was based on the fact that I have received teaching awards here at USA, and they have been from several graduating classes the last few years,” he said. Kilgo, the director of the neurology residency program, specializes in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease affecting the nervous system. He serves as the director of the Neuroimmunology and MS Clinic, one of the only clinics recognized in Alabama by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society as a “Partner in MS Care.” He is an active member of the AAN with a special interest in advocacy and public policy.  Kilgo attended medical school at the Whiddon College of Medicine, where he also completed his residency training in neurology. He followed that with a fellowship in neurology with a focus on neuroimmunology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He joined the USA Health department of neurology in 2018.
