The Parkinson and Other Movement Disorders Center is the proud recipient of the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship from the Michael J Fox Foundation that will fund an incoming fellow from 2024-2026. Our fellowship program offers one to two years in movement disorders clinical training that recruits two fellows per year. The fellowship focuses on general movement disorders, botulinum toxin, deep brain stimulation, Huntington's disease, pediatric movement disorders and allows time for research. 

We are pleased that Dr. Kevin Littleton and Dr. Eshita Shah have joined our program, and that Dr. Amy Lin will continue for another year. If you see them in clinic, please say hello! 

Your support is critical to our progress. Unlike any other funding source, your gifts offer Dr. Litvan and her team the freedom and the flexibility to fuel the most promising, leading-edge research ideas, offer unique educational opportunities, and deliver exceptional patient care.
