The University of Kansas Medical Center's Department of Neurology will present the 3rd annual Lillian Pardo, M.D., Pediatric Neurology Lecture April 12 at 8 a.m. in the Clendening Auditorium.

The event is free and open to the public.

This year's featured lecturer is Jonathan W. Mink, M.D., Ph.D., FAAN, FANA, FAAP, the Frederick A. Horner, M.D., endowed professor in pediatric neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, where he also serves as professor of neurology, neuroscience and pediatrics; chief of the child neurology division; and vice chair of the Department of Neurology.

Dr. Mink will present "Paroxysmal Movement Disorders in Children." In addition to sharing his personal experiences with other doctors asking for guidance on these disorders, he will discuss three primary types of paroxysmal dyskinesias in children and address specific questions related to the clinical and family history when seeing patients with episodic movement disorders.

Dr. Pardo, professor emerita in pediatrics and neurology at KU Medical Center, established the annual lectureship with her husband, Manuel P. Pardo, M.D., to help inspire today's students, residents and young faculty the way visiting professors often inspired her during her medical education and academic medical center career.
