Mark A. Ferrante is a Professor of Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, where he serves as the Neurophysiology Fellowship Co-Director and the Assistant Director of the Residency Training Program. He is also the Section Chief of Neurophysiology, the EMG Laboratory Director, and the ALS Clinic Director at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Memphis. He has extensively published on EMG and various neuromuscular topics; his current research interests include brachial plexopathies, neuralgic amyotrophy, and thoracic outlet syndrome, as well as the relationship between sustained gripping and carpal tunnel syndrome and the role of surgical treatment for advanced carpal tunnel syndrome. He has received numerous teaching awards for his ability to simplify complex material, including the Annual AAET Physician Recognition Award.
