James Meschia, M.D., is a vascular neurologist who served as Chair of the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida from 2012 to 2021. His clinical interests include inherited cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and CARASIL as well as the medical management of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis.

He graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and went on to complete an internal medicine internship in his home state at the University of Colorado. He then completed a neurology residency at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, followed by a vascular neurology fellowship at Indiana University. From there he joined Mayo Clinic staff.

Dr. Meschia has authored more than 300 indexed scientific publications and has served on the editorial boards of Stroke, the European Journal of Neurology, the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, and Mayo Clinic Proceedings. He has been a member of several scientific review groups for NIH NINDS and the American Heart Association and is a fellow of the Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association, and the American Heart Association.

Under Dr. Meschia's leadership, Mayo Clinic in Florida became the first site in the Mayo Foundation to receive disease-specific certification for stroke by the Joint Commission. In addition, the Florida State Agency for Health Care Administration recognized Mayo Clinic Hospital in Florida as a Comprehensive Stroke Center. His early research focused on genetic risk factors for ischemic stroke. He was Principal Investigator of the first multicenter genome-wide association study of ischemic stroke, known as ISGS, and Principal Investigator of the only multicenter affected sibling pair study of ischemic stroke, known as SWISS. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Carotid Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) and has been co-Principal Investigator of the CREST-2 trial comparing intensive medical management to revascularization in asymptomatic patients.
