9th Annual Cleveland Clinic Neurology Update - A Comprehensive Review for the Clinician is organized by Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education and will be held from Aug 03 - 05, 2018 at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C., Washington, Dist of Col, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is Neurologists.
The target audience for this medical event is directed towards neurologists, internists and family practice physicians, physician assistants, nurses and others involved in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 17.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Welcome to the 9th Annual Cleveland Clinic Neurology Update. On behalf of the Neurological Institute at the Cleveland Clinic we would like to welcome you to our annual course and hope you find it valuable in your continuing care of patients with neurological disease. We continue to modify the course based in large part on changes in the field and evaluations from prior participants. We encourage our speakers to use a case-based approach and to focus on clinically meaningful information. Once again this year we have incorporated smaller group breakout sessions for a more connected interaction and experience. The 3 breakouts will focus on headache management, movement disorders, and multiple sclerosis. All course participants will have a chance to attend each session, but the breakout method will allow more give-and-take with the speakers. The course will also continue to offer Self-Assessment credits approved by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology for Maintenance of Certification mandated by ABMS.
This year we have included key areas in neurology including topics in stroke (including endovascular approaches), epilepsy (including surgical management), brain tumor, dementia (including biomarkers), back pain and neuromuscular syndromes (including myasthenia gravis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy). New this year will be CNS infections, neuroradiology of the brain and spine, and cases from the consult service. Also new this year will be strategies for neuromodulation. Make sure you bring all your knowledge for Neuro Jeopardy and the always interesting historical vignettes.
Conference Objectives are :
Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
• Describe the impact of recent evidence on MS disease management strategies.
• Summarize the most recent approaches to diagnosis and treatment of various dementias.
• Summarize outcomes data on various surgical treatments for epilepsy and how they fit into clinical management strategies.
• Identify the neuroradiology innovations that have the potential to improve identification of brain and spinal cord malformations.
• Critically appraise treatment-related data for various neurologic disorders and describe their implications for clinical practice.
• Describe the most promising research findings on adult-onset hydrocephalus and identify their potential clinical implications.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
