Parkinson’s clinic of Eastern Toronto not only collaborates with international experts in clinical research, but also supports other facilities with such activities. We facilitate patient education sessions and seminars to promote knowledge about Parkinson’s disease and related conditions.

We accept medical students, interns, and residents interested to do rotations in neurology.

Our experts continuously contribute to scientific research in the field of neuroscience, Parkinson’s disease and Movement disorders. Some of the publications by our staff are below:

Selected Journal Articles

Patients can listen to YouTube lectures about Parkinson’s disease. Our clinic may arrange seminars time to time for educational purposes.
