PROGRAM
This symposium will feature a movement disorder specialist, autonomic disorder specialist, physical therapist, speech therapist, and neuro-palliative care physician from Stanford, UCSF, and Kaiser. A highlight in the afternoon will be a panel of people coping with MSA — those with an MSA diagnosis and MSA caregivers.
OTHER DETAILS
Within a few weeks of the event, we will email everyone who registered a list of relevant resources from Stanford Neurology, Brain Support Network, and CurePSP, the event sponsor.
The symposium will be recorded. We will share a link to the recording with everyone registered.
