Featured Programs
Coordinator Workshop
Part of the PSG’s mission is to support clinical research for Parkinson’s disease, which would not be possible without the support of the clinical research coordinators at our sites. The mentorship, support, education, and training of coordinators is something that the PSG is incredibly passionate about. The PSG will be hosting our Coordinator Workshop at our annual meeting in San Diego. The workshop will take place on Thursday, December 4, from 1:00pm - 5:30pm. The goal of the workshop is to educate and train on the most current developments in the field, to network amongst peers, and to further commit to a career in PD research.
Junior Investigator Workshop
As part of the PSG’s mission, we strive to engage with and educate early-stage clinicians that are interested in a career in Parkinson’s research. This grant seeks to fund travel to support exploration of this through attendance at our annual conference and through training at our Junior Investigator Workshop. The PSG supports diversity and inclusion, and we hope that this grant will also help those that otherwise might not be able to attend. This year’s workshop will be held on Thursday, December 4 from 12pm - 5pm.
Women in Neurology
The PSG is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting our Annual Women in Neurology Forum & Networking Reception as a part of our Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA. It is being generously supported by Amneal Pharmaceuticals. The idea behind these events is to support women in our organization through shared experiences, mentorship, and lively discussion on topics including equity and inclusion in the workplace, leadership, and career development amongst others.
Registration for this event is now CLOSED. Please contact Donna Moszkowicz with any questions regarding registration.

Working Group Meetings
The PSG working groups are the heart of our organization. They enable collaborations among investigators with related interests in PD. Their primary goal is to generate proposals for new research studies, either interventional or observational, as well as retrospective data mining projects. They provide a forum for initial discussion and feedback on research projects and clinical trials.
