Clinical Exposure

Fellows will have clinical exposure including but not limited to Parkinson’s disease, cervical dystonia, essential tremor, atypical parkinsonism, Huntington’s disease, Tourette syndrome, and ataxia. Fellows will have the opportunity to have hands-on training with chemodenervation and deep brain stimulation programming. In addition, we have a comprehensive movement disorders clinic featuring a multidisciplinary treatment team composed of neurologists, neuropsychologists, neurosurgeons, and physical therapists to evaluate patients for surgical candidacy regarding deep brain stimulation (DBS) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Fellows will have the opportunity to learn microelectrode recording, neurophysiology, and clinical evaluation of patients in the OR for DBS and for HIFU.
