Pediatric Movement Disorders Fellowship

The mission of our Pediatric Movement Disorders Fellowship Training Program is to train pediatric neurologists to become experts in the growing field of movement disorders in children and adolescents, guided by our program faculty.

We offer one year or two year combined clinical + research fellowships, providing in-depth clinical training in every major movement disorder, including but not limited to spasticity, dystonia, tics, ataxia, chorea, athetosis, paroxysmal dyskinesias, myoclonus, parkinsonism, tremor, and gait disorders. Fellows will learn to take movement disorder-specific histories and develop advanced examination techniques. They will learn to distinguish phenomenology based on both physical examination and video review and to use electrophysiology and motion analysis as adjunctive aids in distinguishing movement disorder classes.
