PARTICIPANT VIDEO CASE COMPETITION
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.
