The Headache Division continued its clinical expansion with the move to a state-of-the-art outpatient facility in September of 2007. The central Oakland location has been staffed by faculty of the Headache Division—Drs. Robert Kaniecki, Michael Soso, Barbara Vogler and Miguel Estevez as well as by physician assistants Kimberly McGonigle and John Lucking. Monthly clinical volumes at the Headache expanded to nearly 1000 patients during the 2007-2008 academic year.

In addition to outpatient responsibilities in the clinic setting, all headache physicians actively participate on the inpatient service at Presbyterian University Hospital.  Lectures on headache and pain are delivered by Dr Kaniecki to the first-year medical students and by Dr. Vogler to the third-year medical students. All physicians supervise residents and medical students on the inpatient service, while Dr Kaniecki supervises resident and student rotations though the Headache Center.

Headache Division physicians also serve in various capacities in the university community. Dr Soso serves on the Institutional Review Board for the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, while Dr Kaniecki serves as chairman of the Scientific Review Committee for the Department of Neurology. Dr Kaniecki continues to serve on the residency selection committee and the executive committee for the Department of Neurology.

Division faculty members also contribute to research on headache origins and treatment. Dr Vogler has expanded the clinical research program at the Headache Center, recruiting several important multicenter trials to the department. Dr. Estevez is a long-time researcher into the causes of migraine headache and Dr Kaniecki presented and published in the field of headache during the 2007-2008 academic year. The Headache Center is planning to continue the expansion of clinical and research services during the 2008-2009 academic year.
