About the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship
For people and families with Parkinson’s, seeing a movement disorder specialist — an expert who has additional training in diagnosing and treating Parkinson’s — is one of the keys to living life with the disease as well as possible. But there aren’t enough specialists to care for the 6 million people around the world who live with Parkinson’s.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is grateful for the partnership of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation in an impactful collaboration addressing the global need for expert Parkinson’s clinicians, as well as a next generation of PD researchers.
Since the start of the Edmond J. Safra Fellowship program in 2014, 48 specialists have been trained.
