Practice-Changing Education

Every year, there are a staggering number ofcritically important updates that need to be understood and incorporated intothe practice of neurology to ensure optimal patient care. This special neurologyupdate synthesizes this vast amount of information and presents it withefficiency and effectiveness to ensure that you are current with these updatesand the best ways to incorporate them into practice.

Over the course of a week, you will be immersed inan impactful and inspiring neurology learning experience. The faculty, masterclinicians and leaders in field of neurology, provide a learning experiencethat delivers:

·       Approaches that enable you topractice state-of-the-art neurology

·       Guidance for clinical reasoning

·       Case studies

·       Dedicated time for you to pose yourspecific questions to leaders in their respective fields of neurology and delveinto how information presented in this course can be used in your specificclinical setting

·       Practical knowledge that you can“take home” and immediately apply to patient care

Year after year, attendees report they are inspiredby the knowledge transfer and find the experience to be invaluable to theirclinical practice, understanding of neurologic diseases, diagnostic skills andtreatment outcomes.
