Shilpa Chitnis, M.D., Ph.D., FAAN.

Thank you, @MichaelOkun, for detailed summaries of published articles and your take on them. We learn so much just from your X feeds. I look forward to reading your posts every evening and learn something new. Warm regards to everyone in Aspen. @AlbertoEspay , @JankovicJoseph

ICYMI - the "Introduction to the Fellowship Match" webinar and presentation slides are posted on our website. It's a great refresher and overview for #fellowship program staff! ow.ly/oQw850Ww0yb #FellowMatch #MedEd #NRMP

Here is an interesting article: theconversation.com/ozzy-osbourne-… by @MichaelOkun It is indeed a shame that we do not train more than 50-60 physicians in movement disorders per year in the US. We need many times over.

Loved serving on this incredible committee. Thank you ⁦@AANmember⁩ and ⁦@lucypersaud⁩ we got so many good things done for GME.

Just recruited a director for the dementia center. Current staff: assistant director @iKhushbooVerma, RN, RN navigator, NP, MA, blood testing for AD, MRI scans, Amyloid PET, & educational resources in Smith County. Dementia Center will be a game changer for East TX. @uttylersom

Very proud and happy to recruit these bright and talented faculty members, @ranivasireddy22 and Khusbho Verma in Movement Disorders and Cognitive-Behavioral Neurology sections at @uttylersom

Excited to share that I’ll be joining @uttylersom as Assistant Professor of Neurology and Clerkship Director starting this September! Grateful for the journey so far and looking forward to this new chapter with @ShilpaChitnis2 Thanks to great mentors @NeuroUky !

Congratulations to Shivam Mittal for being accepted as a FAAN (Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology). Such a well-deserved recognition. Shivam, you make us proud!! @AMahajanMD

So many leaders fail to recognize that building a department or a program is about building good relationships. There should be no hierarchy in a department, just great communication, mutual respect, mentorship, and empowerment of faculty to succeed and be happy. @AMahajanMD

July 1, 2025, marks the beginning of a new Neurology residency program in East Texas at @uttylersom Pictures were taken this morning as Bootcamp starts with 4 new residents. Dr. Golden & Dr. Kowalski kick-starting boot camp on day # 1. Exciting times ahead.

First time meeting all my new Neurology residents in person. Thinking of my residents at LSU and UT Southwestern who got me started on the GME journey. Love being a PD!! ⁦@UTSW_NeuroRes⁩ ⁦@uttylersom⁩ ⁦@LSUHealthNO⁩

The start of our able and capable army!! So proud to welcome the first class of @uttylersom neurology residents. @ShwetaKalita @suryasuresh @nikhilkurpad @Sarojpoudel #neurostrong

Happy to proud to announce that Dr. Elisabeth (Lisa) Golden has been promoted to Associate Professor in Neurology. She is also our 1st associate program director for the new Neurology residency program at @uttylersom Congratulations, we are so lucky to have you, Lisa. @UTTyler

This guy is simply amazing. His knowledge and ability to communicate information is inspiring. Some great neurology videos. Check them out on his channel. This is just one of them. youtube.com/watch?v=DO94Z_…

Total "Nerdology" kind day with "Neurology" didactics prep for me. Watch this amazing video if you want to learn simple localization skills as a PGY-2 Neuro resident! Can't wait for these lovely folks to start. @ShwetaKalita and 3 others! youtube.com/watch?v=Fic7PF…

61 page long synopsis on everything FND through AI research this morning. Now to read, edit & learn more. Getting my FND fix this weekend. Hard to be a champ and know everything like @SarahLidstone and @SelmaAybek :-), but trying to update my FND knowledge! #loveFND @FNDSociety

June 14th: awesome trips, Bilbao2009 & Prague2016; also Shushant Singh2020, Orlando2020 & now AI2025. Similar dates, different year. Such is life, some good, some bad, some pleasant, some gruesome. Humbled in gratitude to have another day to live, love, make a difference.

I used Medisummary to create a full power Pt. I collected AI generated info, reviewed & saved in Word, converted to PDF, uploaded on MSumm, generated slides, copied over to my power pt., thoughtfully edited for accuracy & voila! Ready for bootcamp lecture # 1. @uttylersom

Program directors and coordinators are hard at work on Neurology residency schedules. We are almost there, and 3 weeks until the residents get here. It's the start of an amazing experience in our new Neurology program.

I am seriously thinking about starting an FND fellowship and am already thinking of what a curriculum might look like. Not sure where the funding may come from and how many people might want to train. Or perhaps make a 1-year movement + 1-year FND track. Thoughts?
