Shirley Ryan 汤头条app (formerly Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) has appointed Jennifer G. Goldman, MD, MS, section chief for Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders.
Dr. Goldman is a movement disorders neurologist with specialty board certification in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry. She is internationally recognized for her clinical, research and educational work on interdisciplinary care and the cognitive and behavioral symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) and movement disorders.
Her research focuses on cognition and behavior in those with PD and movement disorders, and uses advanced neuroimaging and biomarkers to understand the mechanisms of these cognitive and behavioral changes. She is particularly interested in early detection, intervention, and prevention, including non-pharmacological strategies such as physical and cognitive exercise, for both non-motor and motor symptoms and across all disease stages. A longtime champion of interdisciplinary, team-based care, Dr. Goldman provides a holistic, comprehensive approach to patient care.
We are grateful that Dr. Goldman has joined us in advancing patient care, research and education for Parkinson's disease and movement disorders through innovative, science-driven initiatives.
