This Conference has been Cancelled. On behalf of the National Neurotrauma Society, it is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to attend the 38th Annual National Neurotrauma Symposium, Neurotrauma 2020, to be held at the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, from June 27-July 1, 2020. Join your colleagues at the premier forum for traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury research and clinical advances! Accreditation: Amedco LLC designates this live activity for a maximum of 36.50 AMA PRA Category 1Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Description: Since its inception, this symposium has brought together scientists, clinicians, and health-care providers who are dedicated to the study of neurotrauma and to translating knowledge generated by research into improved patient care. The theme for Neurotrauma 2020 is “Bidirectional Translation”. Translating basic science to clinical application is more successful when clinical neurotrauma is guiding basic science, and basic science and engineering is informing clinical advances. As in previous years, we are honored to announce that Neurotrauma 2020 will be cohosted by the National Neurotrauma Society and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/CNS Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care. This combination of expertise allows for true bidirectional translation by integrating state-of-the-art clinical and basic science findings in one scientific venue. The Scientific Program Committee has put together an exciting symposium comprised of plenary and break-out sessions in which the leading experts will share their up-to-date research findings and opinions. Innovative workshops will cover pertinent topics such as state-of-the-art patient care, the latest in neurotrauma preclinical platforms, and patient and research advocacy. A central focus of Neurotrauma 2020 will be the highly interactive poster sessions, which stimulate scholarly discussions on cutting edge findings on injury mechanisms, treatment development, and the use of cutting-edge technologies to accelerate discovery at both the bench and the bedside. CME credits will be provided for the meeting. In addition, several unique opportunities for collaboration and mentoring are planned, including a Welcome Reception on Sunday evening, Lunch & Learn workshops, and a Tuesday evening dinner and awards ceremony at the Georgia Aquarium. We have reserved a large block of rooms at the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel at a reasonable rate for attendees. A limited number of student and government per diem rate rooms will also be available. Amenities include complimentary WiFi, 24/7 fitness center, business center, on site restaurant, room service, swimming pool and jacuzzi. Getting to Neurotrauma 2020 will be easy, as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport offers non-stop service to more than 150 domestic and 70 international destinations and is within a two-hour flight of 80 percent of the United States population. Getting from the airport to Downtown Atlanta is quick, with convenient public transit service to Peachtree Center MARTA station, located 1 block away from the hotel. Neurotrauma 2020 promises to provide innovative opportunities for learning, mentoring, and collaboration for all attendees. Every attendee - from trainees newly entering the field, to the seasoned neurotrauma professionals - will discover new information in a scenic and stimulating venue.  Program Highlights include: • Pre-Conference workshop on Multiscale Preclinical Models of TBI • Keynote Speaker Series: “Bidirectional Translation” • AANS/CNS Program Sessions • AANS/CNS Clinical Breakfast Debate • Data Blitz: rapid-fire oral presentations • Poster Sessions • Trainee Poster Competition • Training, Education and Mentoring (TEAM) programs • Awards Dinner at the Georgia Aquarium  Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.

PBI Professional Boundaries and Ethics: Extended Edition (PB-24EX) is organized by Professional Boundaries Education and will be held from Jul 31 - Aug 02, 2020 at Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America. Accreditation: The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine designates these live activities each for a maximum of 46 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in activity. Format: Part One: • Pre-course component: Online written assignments and readings totaling ten hour • In-person component: Three days totaling 24 hours • 34 CE hour certificate for pre-course + in-person course distributed upon successful completion of course at the end of day three. Part Two: • Post-course component: Faculty-led group conference calls (MAS). One hour weekly for 12 weeks, totaling 12 hours. • 12 CE hour certificate distributed upon successful completion of 12th session of course. Professions this course is suitable for: Physicians, dentists, veterinarians, chiropractors, physician assistants, nurses, mental health providers, EMT's, physical therapists, students, and a wide variety of other clinicians. Summary: The Extended Edition is the most comprehensive option in our suite of boundaries courses. Through pre-seminar preparation and post-seminar follow-up, this edition of the course benefits participants in two ways. The 10-hour pre-course, consisting of readings and written exercises, prepares participants for the conceptual, emotional, and practical work that will occur in the seminar. And the weekly, telephonic post-course Maintenance and Accountability Seminars reinforces what was learned in the classroom, elevates participants accountability through revisiting their Personalized Protection Plans, and engages them in a community of peer review and support. Our suite of Professional Boundaries and Ethics courses employ the premise that everyone has the potential to commit a boundary or ethics violation-yet not everyone does. As in many other similar boundaries and ethics courses, participants learn why they are being held to account. But in our course, participants also open their eyes to what predisposed them to violate professional or ethical norms at the particular time and in the particular manner that they did. These learnings drive an intensive process of self-assessment and introspection, culminating in the development of a Personalized Protection Plan that each participant designs to avoid future wrongdoing, safeguard patients and colleagues, and honor the reputation of their profession. This course addresses issues such as: • Professional misconduct • Non-Sexual and sexual boundary violations • Workplace relationships and disruptive behavior • Recognizing power imbalances • General boundary crossing & violations • Board-mandated or anticipated disciplinary action • Team or clinical communication issues Learning objectives: • Express why and how healthcare professionals are held accountable for adhering to standards of practice, codes of ethics, and state statutes • Discuss attributes and behaviors that constitute professionalism in the context of health care, and identify specific lapses in their own professionalism • Explain how professional problems evolve, employing the model of a continuum of boundary impingements • Express how professional lapses can adversely affect clinical judgment and cause a range of other impacts and harms • Describe the components of the Boundary Formula™ and apply them to their own violation potential and, if applicable, their infraction • Create and implement a Personalized Protection Plan that includes strategies, safeguards, and systems to reduce the risk of relapse and improve accountability • Detect early warning signs of professional problems in themselves and others in order to reduce the risk of future violations
