once again,, i should learn a lesson and proofread my stuff before i fire it off to the listserv. my friends pretty much are used to my absolutely unintended mangeling of facts, figures and especially titles but this time, as my friend Susan Reece from the APDA in Chicago, my mistake is a whopper. in my post of july 2nd, i wrote: >> our panel of medical experts included Dr. Rick Weber: Associate, an Assistant Professor, Department of Neurology at Northwestern University School of Medicine ; Director, Movement Disorders Center at Glenbrook/Evanston Hospitals; Director, Movement Disorders & Functional Neurosurgical Program at Glenbrook/Evanston Hospitals and the Medical Director of the Chicago Area Chapter American Parkinson's Disease Association and Dr. Paul Carvey whose credentials include: Professor of Neurological Sciences and Pharmacology as well as Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology. He is also the Director of the Neuropharmacology Research Laboratories and the Rush Pharmacology Analytical Laboratory Services .<< this should read : our panel of experts was moderated by Dr. Rick Weber , an associate professor of immunopharmacology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. Our first expert, Dr. Michael Rezak who has these remarkable credentials to his credit: Division of NeurologyGlenbrook Hospital in Glenview, Illinois 1990-present Associate Division Head, Division of Neurology at Glenbrook/Evanston Hospitals 1991-2002; Assistant Professor, Department of Neurology at Northwestern University School of Medicine 1990-present; Director, Movement Disorders Center at the Glenbrook/Evanston Hospitals 1990-present ; Director, Movement Disorders Functional Neurosurgical Program Glenbrook/Evanston Hospitals 1995-present; Medical Director, Chicago Area Chapter American Parkinson's Disease Association 1994-present ; Medical Director, National Young Onset American Parkinson Disease Association-Information and Referral Center 1995-present; & is the Medical Director, Parkinson's Disease Research Society 1994-present. Our other expert was Dr. Paul Carveywhose credentials include: Acting Dean, Graduate College; Associate Dean, Basic sciences at Rush Medical College; Professor & Chairman, Department of Pharmacology & the Director, Neuropharmacology Research Laboratory. it was never my intention to slight any of our speakers or to leave anyone out. for this blunder, i sincerely apologize. Dr. Rezak & Dr. Carvey came to speak at a symposium titled: Patients As Providers which was a outreach education program of PLWP (People Living With Parkinson's). it was offered FREE OF CHARGE to the general public as well as a number of pwp's from all over the country who were in town because of another unrelated fundraiser. these doctors had no hand whatever in fundraising...only in educating. -- Joan E.
