Overview
One of the key goals of Johns Hopkins University, the HDSA, and
the Baltimore Huntington's Disease Center is to promote education.
It is our desire to help patients, and families to better understand
the disease and its progression in order to plan and prepare for
the future. This is completed by a variety of means, through support
groups, individual and family counseling, literature and Internet
links.
Our goal of educating physicians to HD starts with the residents
and fellows at Johns Hopkins University, who as part of their training
have the opportunity to become familiar with the disease under the
expert guidance of one of our Neurobiology faculty. Through this
supervised clinical work, physicians have the opportunity to develop
an understanding of the signs, symptoms, and psychological stressors
associated with HD.
