Movement Disorders Fellowship

The Movement Disorders Fellowship at Indiana University School of Medicine is a one-year, clinical fellowship designed to prepare the next generation of expert movement disorder neurologists. The program offers rich clinical exposure, opportunities for scholarly research and meaningful teaching experiences in a collaborative and supportive environment. With access to cutting-edge diagnostic tools, a diverse patient population and a dedicated team of nationally recognized faculty, our fellows graduate with the skills and confidence needed for independent practice or academic medicine.

Director's Message

Fellows spend most of their clinical time at Goodman Hall, a modern, multidisciplinary neuroscience building which includes neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neuro-rehab, neurosurgery and neuro-radiology. Fellows work closely with our team of physicians, advanced practice providers, social workers and pharmacists. Clinical responsibilities include seeing patients independently under supervision. Fellows also rotate at Eskenazi Hospital and the Richard L. Roudebush Veterans' Administration Medical Center. Core clinical training includes evaluation of patients with common and rare movement disorders, botulinum toxin injection and programing of deep brain stimulators. Additional training includes opportunities for movement disorders education in neuro-palliative care, neuropsychology, cognitive neurology, neuro-rehabilitation and multi-disciplinary care clinics.

Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on clinical experience and individualized mentorship. Fellows participate in weekly deep brain stimulation clinical conferences and monthly Parkinson’s Foundation Center team conferences. Opportunities to attend Department of Neurology and Department of Neurological Surgery Grand Rounds further enhance learning. Additional training in teaching methods is available through Indiana University's Academy of Teaching Scholars. 

Opportunities for clinical research include clinical and translational research projects. Mentorship from faculty help to guide and support strong research projects and approaches to publication. 

While there is no formal subspecialty board certification in movement disorders, our program is designed to prepare fellows for competitive positions in both academic and private practice settings.
