Why Iowa

After having studied the connectome of the seizure network activation during my epilepsy fellowship, I was intrigued by the intricate connections of the subcortical regions, specifically the basal ganglia. Hence, the additional training in Movement Disorders.

University of Iowa Movement Disorders Program offers expertise in both hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders – be it the basic science, clinical trials or the clinical care. It trains the fellow in various procedural aspects of Movement disorders, Botulinum toxin injections, and Deep Brain Stimulation. Most importantly, for me, the USP of this fellowship has been the faculty who go above and beyond in taking an active role in the fellows’ education and career interests.
