She focuses on caring for patients with conditions such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia, Huntington's disease, tics, and functional movement disorders.

As an assistant professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Zuchowski is involved in medical education, working to innovate curriculum and mentor future neurologists. Her research interests include developing educational tools that bridge specialties, such as her online resource for psychiatrists learning about movement disorders.
