The primary purpose of this course is to give young neurologists who are interested in specializing in Movement Disorders an opportunity to receive in-depth instruction from internationally-recognized Movement Disorders experts. Students will attend large lectures and panel discussions with question and answer sessions and will have the opportunity to examine patients with movement disorders and engage in differential diagnosis with the international experts.

Students will present their own case-study videos to small groups for discussion and critique and will be involved in group presentations and case discussions. Topics will focus on parkinsonism, hyperkinetic disorders and complex issues in movement disorders. There are several portions of small group work: clinical rounds for patient interaction and presentation of video case studies, and focused workshop sessions. This enables the students to receive customized critique of current skills and highly engaged instruction.

The school offers a variety of educational formats to accommodate multiple learning styles and to complement the content being presented. Large lectures are punctuated with designated question and answer periods to ensure the delivery of the content is effective and learners are able to acquire the intended knowledge. There is a low student to faculty ratio to facilitate additional interaction and mentorship.
