The objective of the fellowship training is to provide the fellow with the opportunity to develop the expertise necessary to evaluate and manage patients with Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. The fellowship includes exposure in the clinic and hospital to both adult and pediatric movement disorders, and training for the diagnosis of movement disorders, medication and other therapeutics including EMG-guided botulinum therapy, intra-operative electrophysiology for the placement of deep brain stimulation electrodes, and programming of deep brain stimulators.

Approximate percentage of time devoted to:

Adult movement disorders: 65%

Pediatric movement disorders: 15%

Clinical neurophysiology, neurosurgery: 15%

Research: 5% (negotiable for extra time if desired)
