About me

Dr. Ann Poncelet is a neurologist who specializes in caring for patients with autoimmune neuromuscular disorders, such as brachial neuritis, neuromuscular junction disorders, inflammatory myopathies and neuropathies. She serves as director of the UCSF Brachial Neuritis Center, which provides multidisciplinary care for this disorder affecting nerves around the shoulder and arm.

Poncelet has a special research interest in medical education, particularly in how relationships that span several years impact patients, learners and faculty.

Poncelet earned her medical degree at UCSF. She completed a residency in neurology at Stanford Health Care, followed by a fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in electromyography, a method of evaluating muscle and nerve health by recording muscles' electrical activity.

Poncelet is director of the Haile T. Debas Academy of Medical Educators and is known internationally for her work in longitudinal integrated clerkships, a model of clinical education where third-year medical students work longitudinally with faculty supervisors and patients over the core clinical training year.

      This was the best care I have received so far from the team at UCSF. The doctor asked very targeted questions, listened very well, explained her thought process, explained next steps, fit me in for immediate tests (earlier experiences had me waiting months for tests), and gave me honest feedback for rest results and next steps. I was so impressed and appreciative for this exemplary level of care.

      We feel extremely lucky to have been able to establish care with Dr. Poncelet - she is thorough, careful, thoughtful, generous with her time, extremely personable and caring, it goes without saying an expert in the field, and has given us hope. Telehealth offers us the ability to see her even though we live far away, something that would have been impossible just a few years ago. It's run very well. Thank you!

      Dr Poncelet is a real gem. It is obvious that she cares. I could not ask for a better partner in my care, especially when dealing with such a challenging condition that does not have a lot of data or answers.
