2008 Education Colloquium Focuses on Lifelong Education

The Education Colloquium for the 60th Annual Meeting in Chicago led by program director D. Joanne Lynn MD, will explore lifelong learning in neurology. The colloquium will take place Monday, April 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Faculty will discuss possible changes in priorities of education in neurology for medical students, residents, and fellows. The use and impact of new technologies such as webcast, and podcasts for the presentation of information and the preferential use of these tools by various subgroups of learners will be presented. New directions of focus on outcomes and demonstration of altered patterns of practice by continuing medical education will be explored. Finally, programs for Maintenance of Certification in neurology will be discussed.

Upon completion, attendees become familiar with questions about prioritization of neurology content to be emphasized in medical school and residency education for neurologists and non-neurologists; understand the impact and utilization of new technologies for the presentation of information; appreciate the current goals and efforts of the ACCME to link the assessment of formal CME programs more directly to demonstration of effective changes in physician practice and patient outcomes; and understand how to attain the current goals and requirements for Maintenance of Certification in neurology.

The colloquium will provide attendees an opportunity to earn 3.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™. The event is free and open to all registered Annual Meeting attendees; additional registration is not required.
