20th Annual Practical Update in Outpatient Neurology
| Start Date |

| Description |
Formerly titled “Neurology for the Neurologist and the Primary Care Practitioner,” this activity will emphasize updates in practical knowledge of commonly encountered problems across a broad cross section of neurological subspecialty areas. The field of neurology is progressing rapidly on all fronts, spurred by advances in imaging, basic science, translational research, and therapeutics. The clinician evaluating a neurological complaint is now faced with informational overload when attempting to apply evidence-based medicine to the care of the individual patient seated in the exam room. The goal of this conference is therefore to distill down key aspects of patient diagnosis and management in important, prevalent, dangerous, and treatable neurological conditions. |
