Description
Parkinson Canada is pleased to offer the Parkinson Canada Clinical Movement Disorders fellowship
program (the “Program”) as a strategic initiative to encourage promising young clinicians to enter
into clinical training in the subspecialty of Movement Disorders, which will include Parkinson’s
disease. This fellowship provides support in the amount $50,000 and will fund a one-year clinical
training program. The purpose of this post-residency training is to provide expertise in the diagnosis
and management of Parkinson’s disease and may include other movement disorders. Clinical training is the largest component of this hands-on program (at least 80%) but could include an element of
research. However, this application will be evaluated solely on the clinical component.
Parkinson Canada wishes to ensure that each Canadian with Parkinson’s receives appropriate medical
expertise, drug treatment, support services, continuous care, educational resources, respect, dignity,
help and hope. This Program is an important component of Parkinson Canada’s plan to achieve its
goal of ensuring that these critical elements in the day-to-day management of Parkinson’s disease are
accessible and available. The selection of the successful applicant and administration of the Program
are the responsibility of Parkinson Canada.
