About Ashley E Rawls

I am a clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

After earning my bachelor’s degree in biology from Duke University and a master’s degree in aging and neuroscience from the University of South Florida, I received my medical degree from the University of Florida in 2014. After medical school, I completed my neurology residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. I then pursued a clinical movement disorders fellowship and post-doctoral research fellowship at Stanford University.

I am board-certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and currently licensed to practice medicine in both Florida and California. In addition to being the chief resident in neurology at the medical university of South Carolina in 2018, I have also been recognized for my diversity and inclusion advocacy, such as serving on the Stanford University Department of Neurology Diversity and Inclusion Committee and Stanford Leadership Education in Advancing Diversity (LEAD) scholar in 2019.
