 WE
MOVE Announces The DBS-STN Programmers Discussion
Forum
- Do you have questions about DBS-STN programming?
- Have you made observations that you would
like to share?
- Would you like to know how experienced
programmers approach initial and follow-up
programming, medication adjustment, and
troubleshooting?
WE MOVE recognizes that there is no “cookie
cutter” approach to DBS-STN programming
and that experience results in better outcomes.
To accelerate the learning curve, WE MOVE
is pleased to announce the DBS-STN Programmers
Discussion Forum at www.mdvu.org.
The Forum is available 24/7 and all programmers
are invited to post questions and receive
responses from peers as well as strategies
for success from experienced programmers.
The DBS-STN Programmers Discussion Forum
is part of WE MOVE’s Parkinson’s
Disease Educational Initiative and is funded
by educational grants from Medtronic, Inc.,
The Parkinson Alliance, the Charles &
Vivian Sukenik Philanthropic Foundation, and
the Evan and Sandra Stern Foundation.
WE MOVE presents the Movement Disorder Virtual
University at www.mdvu.org |
