Mark S. Nash, Ph.D., FACSM is an Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery, Rehabilitation Medicine and Physical Therapy at the Miller School of Medicine of the University of Miami. He received his Doctoral Degree in Applied Physiology and Clinical Anatomy from the University of Toledo and the Medical College of Ohio in 1984. His last year of professional preparation was spent as a Doctoral Fellow in Cardiovascular Rehabilitation. Thereafter, Dr. Nash was appointed to the faculty of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine as Director of the Functional Electrical Stimulation Laboratory, and the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation as Project Coordinator for the NIDRR-funded South Florida Regional Spinal Cord Injury System.
