Initially attracted to UAB's wide range of clinical options as a large tertiary referral center during her residency, Dr. Parker ultimately sought to join the Movement Disorders division for fellowship after working with such incredible educators during her elective rotations as a resident. She values the collegial environment fostered by this group, and views its emphasis on well-roundedness and providing excellent multidisciplinary patient care as unique strengths of this program. She also has a passion for teaching and has enjoyed the plentiful opportunities for teaching medical students, residents, and even graduate students during her fellowship in both a classroom and clinical setting. As an Alabama native, her long-term goal is to increase access to specialized movement disorders care such as DBS programming and botulinum toxin injections within the state of Alabama. She plans to work in a community practice after completion of her one-year clinically focused fellowship.

Dr. Roginsky developed an interest in movement disorders early on in her residency career after spending time in the movement disorders clinic on elective. She was drawn to the field for multiple reasons including the importance of the physical examination for patients with movement disorders, given her background at an osteopathic medical school, and the wide variety of clinical experiences available, including botulinum toxin injections, DBS evaluation and programming, and the ability to assist in intraoperative monitoring during DBS placement. She was drawn to UAB due to the wide variety of clinical interests represented among faculty, the continued opportunity to work closely with medical students and residents during their training, and the ongoing research in the field. She is passionate about medical education and her long-term goal is to continue to serve patients in the clinic setting while making an impact on the future generations of doctors. Outside of work, she enjoys reading and spending time hiking with her dogs.
