Max Wiznitzer, M.D., a board-certified pediatric neurologist, will be the featured speaker at the University of Kansas Department of Neurology's eighth annual Lillian Pardo, M.D. Pediatric Neurology Lecture at 8 a.m. on Friday, March 13.  

Dr. Wiznitzer is a professor of pediatrics and neurology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, specializing in attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, developmental and behavioral disorders and pediatric neurology. He has authored or co-authored 11 textbook chapters and nearly 70 research publications in leading medical journals. 

Dr. Wiznitzer's lecture will take place in Clendening Auditorium on the University of Kansas Medical Center's main campus. Those interested in attending from afar can tune in virtually using this Zoom link.  

The annual lectureship was established by Pardo, professor emerita in pediatrics and neurology at KU Medical Center, alongside her husband, Manuel P. Pardo, M.D. Now in its eighth year, the lectureship aims to inspire today's students, residents and young faculty in ways that visiting professors similarly inspired Pardo during her medical education and academic medical center career.
