The Movement Disorder Society (MDS) believes that, as our specialty continues to grow, a continuous dialogue on a global level will become increasingly important to bring clinicians, researchers and policy makers together for the exchange of the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of Movement Disorders.
It is with this goal in mind that we invite other neurological organizations and groups specializing in Movement Disorders to become an Affiliate Member of The Movement Disorder Society to encourage research and enhance the education of physicians and the public about Movement Disorders.
