Parkinson's School

The complete 24 course set, all in one package!

Parkinson's School is a resource for patients, their family members, and the community that serves them. Clinic visits are too few and far between and patients have questions that are going unanswered.

Over the past 20 years, Dr. Mischley has treated over 4000 patients with Parkinsonism and these courses represent the most frequently asked questions. There are 24 pre-recorded classes and corresponding discussions. You may watch the classes at your own pace and in any order. You will continue to have unlimited access to the videos and may watch them as often as you'd like.

On the 14th & 28th of every month at 12 pm PST, there is a live 60-90 minute live discussion for enrolled students. The 2022 meeting registration link can be found at the end of each lesson.
