While this is a welcome development, it may be challenging for neurologists taking care of patients with neuromuscular disorders to keep up to date with all of these advances. The purpose of the Penn Neuromuscular Symposium is to provide both a basic approach to patients with neuromuscular disorders and an update on novel therapeutic agents and future directions. The symposium will also enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange among neurologists and other healthcare professionals taking care of this unique patient population, which will hope will also facilitate referral to exciting clinical trials here at Penn.

Upon conclusion of this educational activity, the participant will be better able to:

  1. Provide appropriate care to the patient with neuromuscular weakness
  2. Identify patterns and red flags in peripheral neuropathy
  3. Describe the difference between axonal and demyelinating neuropathy
  4. Learn how to perform specialized testing for neuromuscular junction disorders
  5. Review the electrophysiological appearance of neurogenic vs myopathic units
  6. Explain the utility of autonomic testing
  7. Review challenging cases, discuss the differential diagnosis, appropriate testing and treatment
  8. Review the role of antibody testing in neuromuscular disorders
  9. Review benefits of genetic testing in patients with neuromuscular disorders
