The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has selected Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as one of eight international academic medical centers in the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders Class of 2028.
Through the commitment of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation, the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship in Movement Disorders is making a lasting impact around the world by growing the base of movement disorder clinician-researchers — neurologists with specific training and expertise in diagnosing and treating Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. The program will provide funding to WashU Medicine to train an additional movement disorder clinician-researcher over a two-year period, equipping a fellow to provide world-class specialty care to people living with Parkinson’s and lead scientific advances.
