Clinical Approach to Movement Disorders: Case-Based Video Rounds
Live OnlineEurope
Feb 24, 2026 - Mar 24, 2026
Foundational / Beginner
1067 The <em>MDS-ES Clinical Approach to Movement Disorders: Case-Based Video Rounds</em> is case-based course (3 sessions, 1.5-hour each) designed as an interactive video-round format focusing on the clinical evaluation of movement disorders. Each session's discussion will be moderated by MDS experts along with experts from the MDS Affiliate societies, who will guide the analysis, highlight key clinical features, and place the cases into a practical diagnostic and management framework. A total of three cases will be presented per session with cases selected through an open call for video submissions from clinicians across Europe, ensuring a broad representation of phenotypes and clinical challenges.
