  • Angela Peters, MD joined the Epilepsy Division as faculty in 2015. She currently holds a position as an assistant professor of neurology, is a diplomate of the American Academy of Neurology, and Fellow in the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society. She specializes in epilepsy and neurophysiology. She currently sees patients at the University of Utah with medically intractable epilepsy who might be surgical candidates and performs programming for responsive neurostimulation and DBS. She is a member of the American Epilepsy Society, American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, American Medical Association, and a board member for the Epilepsy Foundation. She did her medical training at Baylor College of Medicine and her neurology residency and neurophysiology fellowship at the University of Utah. She did an observership in surgical epilepsy at Cleveland Clinic and a predoctoral fellowship in retinal neurophysiology at the Retina Foundation of the Southwest. She has a research interest in autoimmune mediated epilepsies, catamenial epilepsy, TBI and epilepsy, and specialized neurophysiology techniques used in research. She has a special interest in medical ethics, especially as it relates to neurostimulation, and sits on the Hospital Ethics Committee.
