In Memoriam: Isabelle Rapin, MD (1927-2017)

Isabelle Rapin attended the University of Lausanne Medical School and received her medical degree in 1952. She arrived in New York City in 1953 for an internship in pediatrics at Bellevue Hospital, followed by a neurology residency at New York Neurological Institute at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital. In 1958, she was recruited to the Department of Neurology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. She quickly established a training program for child neurology and over the next 50 plus years Dr Rapin helped train over 100 child neurology residents, and many more adult neurologists.
