Program Description
This program will provide a review and update in key areas of clinical neurology, including epilepsy, headache, dementia, movement disorders, neuro-oncology, neuromuscular disease, stroke, sleep medicine, and neuroophthalmology. Emphasis will be placed on updates for diagnosis, management, and the most current treatment modalities. Clinical case illustrations and discussions will be included. In addition, as an innovation this year, during the first talk of each session the update will be presented entirely in a clinical case-based format. Faculty was selected based on noted expertise in their field and excellent teaching skills. The Neurology Update programs will be offered over three days to allow participants to take part in other programs, visit the exhibits, or enjoy leisure activities.
