Marcus Neuroscience Institute Brain and Spine Symposium

Marcus Neuroscience Institute Brain and Spine Symposium is organized by Baptist Health South Florida and will be held from May 15 - 16, 2025 at Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center, Boca Raton, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
The Marcus Neuroscience Institute Brain and Spine Symposium is a two-day academic event designed to assist attendees in expanding their knowledge of the latest advances in the field of neuroscience through didactic lectures, interactive panel discussions and case-based presentations.

The expert faculty will discuss the latest evidence-based practices in the care of brain and spine surgeries, interventional pain management, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, epilepsy, and many more topics in the neurosciences.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this symposium, participants should be better able to:

• Identify different therapies for conservative management of chronic neck and back pain.
• Discuss the emerging technologies being developed for complex spine surgery.
• Describe how artificial intelligence can be used for preoperative planning and customized patient implants.
• Describe how augmented reality guidance systems can be used to increase intraoperative accuracy, advance minimally invasive surgeries and improve patient safety.
• Discuss the rationale, advances, surgical tips and complications associated with complex spine surgeries, as well as address challenges related to patient selection and recovery.
• Discuss healthcare economics associated with disc replacements and fusions.
• Explain the role of a comprehensive multimodal team approach in the management of postoperative pain.
• Discuss new strategies and roadblocks to avoid when developing a comprehensive spine center.
• Describe the differences between cortical and subcortical dementia and identify new diagnostics and treatments for dementia.
• Discuss essential tremor and the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound to manage tremors.
• Discuss new updates in the care of patients with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
• Describe the role of neuropsychological testing in neurological patients.
• Identify new medications for epilepsy patients and updates of epilepsy management.
• Discuss the collaborative management and options of patients with brain tumors.
