Q&A Fellowship Series: Spasticity-Spasticity Fellowship Summer Series

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Hecker and Dr. McGuire discuss their spasticity fellowships. They explain that spasticity is a growing problem that requires more trained physicians to manage. They discuss the benefits of doing a fellowship in spasticity management, including gaining a wide range of skills and knowledge in treating spasticity using various interventions. They emphasize the importance of hands-on experience in diagnosing and treating spasticity and the value of being able to pivot and adapt to different situations. Both programs offer flexibility in tailoring the fellowship to the fellow's interests and goals. They provide information on how to apply to their respective programs and the specific requirements for each. The application process typically opens in May, although Dr. Hecker's program encourages early applications. They also discuss the value of their programs, including the opportunity to work with experienced physicians and participate in research or scholarly activities. In conclusion, they emphasize the increasing need for physicians trained in spasticity management and the satisfaction of helping patients with spasticity improve their quality of life.
