There seems to be a shortage of MDS in my area (East Tennessee). The closest one is about 100 miles away and spends most of her time in the classroom (UT Knoxville). How can we encourage neurologists to go the extra miles in this area of expertise?

Carey - you said: Would the concept of one national source for all PD information (a clearinghouse of sorts) be reasonable?

What a GREAT idea! Is this possible? I mean anything is possible, but how much trouble would this be? Seems with us turning to the electronic medical record, the access to information should be reciprocal.
