Neurology - Movement Disorder Clinic w/ Dr. Rodriguez-Porcel

This episode will help you stand out in your movement disorder clinic during your Neurology rotation. This clinic is where you will see patients with neurodegenerative or otherwise acquired movement issues like tremor, rigidity, and gait changes. As you’ll hear, common diagnoses like Parksinson’s disease and essential tremor can be MUCH more complicated than they appear, and Dr. Rodriguez gives us an important reminder that we must stay humble as clinicians.

Join us in learning how we can prepare for our time in movement disorders, hear lots of tips and tricks for ways to stand out and impress your preceptors, and how you can actually be an invaluable member of the team. After listening to this episode, you should feel confident on your first day in the movement disorder clinic.

Dr. Federico Rodriguez-Porcel is a movement disorder and cognitive specialist at the Medical University of South Carolina. He is very involved with medical student and resident education, and is a passionate educator as you will hear in the episode. We hope you enjoy!
