Since 2018, the Movement Disorders Foundation (MDF) has hosted in-person and virtual symposia for people living with Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, dystonia and essential tremor, as well as care partners and at-risk families. Programs have featured cutting-edge science and therapies presented by knowledgeable researchers conducting research in their areas of discussion.
MDF symposia are designed to increase interest and participation among participants in current research and clinical trials. They are uplifting experiences that reinforce the feeling of a strong, hopeful and united movement disorders community. Following is a list of educational events that MDF has hosted and/or participated in since its inception:
In 2022, the Movement Disorders Foundation is expanding its educational offerings with new combined and dedicated roundtable presentations, fireside chats and symposia.
In 2022, Movement Disorders Foundation is preparing to release MDF Peer Connect, an online platform providing individuals with movement disorders the ability to connect with one another locally, nationally and the world over.
Upon its launch, Movement Disorders Foundation will be the only organization in the cross-disease category to host such a network.
