Led by internationally recognized movement disorder experts, the program provides:
- Didactic lectures and panel discussions with interactive question-and-answer sessions
- Review of case studies and engage in a differential diagnosis exercise with the international experts
- Small group live patient consultation rounds with the experts (a highlight of the course)
- Meet the experts as they share how they became movement disorders specialists
- An opportunity for participants to submit patient video case presentation for a video competition (cases are submitted prior to the course)

Participants will also have access to additional MDS online lectures, within the MDS Education Roadmap on: basal ganglia physiology, serving under-represented communities, Lewy body dementia, psychiatric and sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease.

A highlight of the course is the patient clinical rounds where experts examine patients with different types of movement disorders.

In addition, students are encouraged to submit their own patient case presentation, prior to the course, to be considered for the video case competition. This session will provide an opportunity for students to hear how the panel of experts evaluate cases. To learn more about the video case competition, please Click here
