About Jean E Cibula

My name is Jean Cibula, MD. I attended undergraduate and medical school at Case Western Reserve University. I completed my residency in general neurology and fellowships in clinical neurophysiology and behavioral neurology at the University of Florida. Following residency, I joined the neurology faculty at the University of Kentucky and was in private practice in Columbus, Ohio, before returning to the University of Florida in 2008.

I have been honored as a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, and the American Epilepsy Society, and have served on the board of the Florida Society for Neurology. From 2012 to 2021, I served as an officer of the UF College of Medicine Faculty Council, and I serve as the medical director for the UFHealth Neurodiagnostic Laboratory.
