I plan on taking electives prior to applying for movement disorders fellowship. I have seen threads about strong programs, but I am wondering about how good the following centers are for a clinical fellowship:
- MassGeneral Brigham
- UPenn
- University of Minnesota

Wanted to hear your opinions about strengths and weakness of these programs.
 
There is a thread from before where I mentioned the current places to go after asking fellows. UPenn is for sure really good of the places you list

UMN is Udall Parkinson’s and does a lot of closed loop DBS and has really good MER exposure

Don’t know about MGH
 
Counterintuitively, I would rate UMN at the top of that list for clinical movement fellowship and is particularly strong in neuromodulation. Penn is also good with more of a clinical trials focus. Despite the brand name, I wouldn't really recommend MGH as a place to train clinical movement disorders.
 
What about other programs in the Midwest, specifically those at Cincinnati, Michigan, Iowa, and MCW? Specifically for clinical practice and not research
