Parkinson's disease and movement disorders have been the subject of innumerable research protocols for the past 20 years. New classification and symptom descriptions are frequently introduced and new drugs for treatments emerge every year. There is a need to update the knowledge of clinicians and researchers in this field annually. This information can not only help sub-specialists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons, but can also help internists and nurses who are commonly faced with the task to manage these patients in general medicine wards and clinics.

This symposium will provide a case-based approach to movement disorders with an overview of new treatments and their pitfalls. We hope to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, and leverage cross-disciplinary expertise with the ultimate goal of translating promising clinical practice and clinical research into successful treatments.

1. Correctly identify phenomenology, diagnose, and provide basic treatment for movement disorders patients
2. Analyze the latest medical therapeutic developments in the field of Parkinson's disease and Movement disorders
3. Recognize the latest surgical and advanced methods for management of advanced Parkinson's disease and Movement Disorders
