On September 12, 2013, Stephen Grill, M.D., Ph.D. and Fred Berko, Ph.D.,
\nvisited the Headquarters of the National Security Agency at Fort Meade,
\nMD. The visit was at the invitation of Forrest Riddle, M.D., senior
\nphysician in NSA’s Medical Center, a fully-accredited facility staffed by
\nfour full-time physicians, more than 25 nurses, and additional medical
\ntechnicians, pharmacists, and support personnel.<\/p>\n
Dr. Grill, a movement disorder specialist, presented an overview of the
\nhistory, symptoms, and treatments for three movement disorders: Essential
\nTremor, Dystonia, and Parkinson’s Disease to more than 35 staff members of NSA’s medical center. This CME presentation was highly interactive and
\ninformative, and was followed by Dr. Berko’s presentation on “the patient’s
\nviewpoint”.<\/p>\n
It was heartwarming to the visitors to learn how NSA is a leader among
\nFederal government agencies in recruiting, and supplying accommodations as necessary to, persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n
