Purpose:
The 47th Annual Meeting of the Southern Clinical Neurological Society is designed to provide practicing neurologists with the most up-to-date information for the diagnosis and management of the patient with neurologic conditions. Each day is built around a specific clinical topic presented by experts who provide practical information for evaluation and treatment.

Statement of Educational Need
To be more capable of practice at the level of the standard of care, neurologists need a better understanding of the pathophysiology of epilepsy, movement disorders, headache, behavioral disorders, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and neurological cancers. They also need improved diagnostic evaluation and management strategies in addition to novel approaches in monitoring patients with these conditions. This conference is designed to improve understanding of and use of current clinical practice guidelines and recent research findings in the participant’s practices.

Learning Objectives:
After participating in this CME activity, participants should be able to describe and discuss:
• Approaches to evaluating and diagnosing epilepsy, movement disorders, headache, behavioral disorders, multiple sclerosis, and stroke based on current clinical practice guidelines and findings from recent research studies.
• Strategies for managing epilepsy, movement disorders, headache, behavioral disorders, multiple sclerosis, and stroke based on current clinical practice guidelines and findings from recent research studies.
• Strategies and techniques for clinical encounters with patients using telemedicine technologies.
