| The Department of Neurology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham classically offers a two-year Fellowship in Movement Disorders, but also provides a shortened one-year fellowship for interested applicants. UAB has a comprehensive movement disorders program, with training provided by 12 movement disorders trained clinicians. During the first year, fellows receive robust training in general movement disorders, as well as an introduction to subspecialty areas, including botulinum toxin use, deep brain stimulation (DBS), Huntington's disease, and ataxia. In the second year, each fellow has an opportunity to individualize their schedule based on career interests. There are opportunities to receive additional specialized training in intra-operative microelectrode recording for DBS surgery, develop expertise in clinical research through formal training in research design and methodology, and participation in ongoing trials, among others. Our program participates in the Movement Disorders Match, administered by SF Match. Details are at: https://www.sfmatch.org/specialty/movement-disorders-fellowship/Overview | |
