I am seriously thinking about starting an FND fellowship and am already thinking of what a curriculum might look like. Not sure where the funding may come from and how many people might want to train. Or perhaps make a 1-year movement + 1-year FND track. Thoughts?

Program directors and coordinators are hard at work on Neurology residency schedules. We are almost there, and 3 weeks until the residents get here. It's the start of an amazing experience in our new Neurology program.

I used Medisummary to create a full power Pt. I collected AI generated info, reviewed & saved in Word, converted to PDF, uploaded on MSumm, generated slides, copied over to my power pt., thoughtfully edited for accuracy & voila! Ready for bootcamp lecture # 1. UT Tyler School of Medicine

June 14th: awesome trips, Bilbao2009 & Prague2016; also Shushant Singh2020, Orlando2020 & now AI2025. Similar dates, different year. Such is life, some good, some bad, some pleasant, some gruesome. Humbled in gratitude to have another day to live, love, make a difference.

61 page long synopsis on everything FND through AI research this morning. Now to read, edit & learn more. Getting my FND fix this weekend. Hard to be a champ and know everything like Sarah Lidstone, MD PhD and Selma Aybek :-), but trying to update my FND knowledge! #loveFND Functional Neurological Disorder Society

So many leaders fail to recognize that building a department or a program is about building good relationships. There should be no hierarchy in a department, just great communication, mutual respect, mentorship, and empowerment of faculty to succeed and be happy. Abhimanyu Mahajan
