Applications for 2024-2025 movement disorder fellowship will open on March 1, 2023.
This is a 1-2 year fellowship in movement disorders that recruits 2 fellows per year. The Parkinson and Other Movement Disorders Center is the recipient of a Safra fellowship award from the Michael J Fox Foundation that will fund a fellow from 2024-2026. For the non-Safra fellow, a second year may be extended if the fellow is interested in clinical research. The fellowship includes 8 half-days of clinic per week focused on general movement disorders, botulinum toxin, deep brain stimulation, Huntington's disease and pediatric movement disorders. Two additional half-days include formal teaching and time for reading and clinical research.
UC San Diego is a site in the Movement Disorder Fellowship (MODIF) Match Network, a computerized match conducted by SFMatch, similar to the residency matching program.
Any candidate who wishes to become a fellow at our site must do so through the match. Candidates register with SFMatch and pay a $50 registration fee. Although we recognize that this is an extra step and fee in the application process, the match system provides a standardized procedure with uniform deadline and notification dates. Most importantly, the match will remove pressure on candidates to select a site prior to the opportunity to be ranked by other sites.
Participating sites are not allowed to offer a position outside the match, until after the match and Fellowship positions are left unfilled.
We hope the MODIF Match Network will ultimately involve all North American movement disorder fellowship training programs, and have notified all known fellowship programs and invited them to participate.
You can register any time up to the deadline for submitting your rank-order list to SFMatch. SFMatch applicant registration will open on March 2023.
Rules on the match will be presented on the website. These include:
For various administrative reasons, our fellowship is not able to accept applicants working under J-1 or HB-1 visas.
