This clinically oriented session will allow the fellow to present rare and/or interesting movement disorders cases. Video presentation of Movement Disorders phenomenology will be studied. This session will also allow the discussion of cases and application of evidence-based medicine to the care of our patients.

The Movement Disorders fellow will be involved in the preparation and presentation of 12 main topics about movement disorders for UConn Neurology residents. Topics will range from anatomy to clinical diagnosis and management of common involuntary movements. The fellow also participates in monthly DBS Case Conference and bi-weekly NPH Case Conference.
