Dr. Nicholas A. Morris received his undergraduate degree from Yale University, graduating magna cum laude with distinction in the Psychology major. After working in neuropsychiatry research at the Olin Neuropsychiatric Research Center (Hartford, CT), Dr. Morris returned to his hometown of Baltimore to complete the post-baccalaureate premedical program at Johns Hopkins University. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. He completed his internal medicine internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center followed by a neurology residency in the Partners Neurology program.

He has developed presentations, assessment material, and most recently interactive computer-based case simulations for the Neurocritical Care Society's Emergency Neurological Life Support course. He was granted the Faculty Innovation in Education Award from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology for his project "Development and Validation of Evaluative Simulation Scenarios for Neurological Emergencies". He has presented work from this award at annual meetings of the Neurocritical Care Society and the American Academy of Neurology and published in Neurocritical Care and Neurology. His other research interests include pain after subarachnoid hemorrhage and disparities in emergency neurology care delivery.
