Dr. Kandil developed an interest in neurology starting from neuroanatomy lectures in medical school and was ultimately drawn to movement disorders during residency training due to the emphasis on clinical examination guiding the clinical picture, opportunities to develop long-term relationships with patients and their families, and the exciting innovations within the field. He chose to pursue a fellowship at UAB given the wide range of clinical education options, research opportunities, and a welcoming learning environment. He is passionate about expanding access to specialized neurological care for underserved communities and hopes to work towards this vision following his fellowship training in the state of Alabama. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking, baking, swimming, and exploring nearby parks and trails with his family and dogs.

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.
