Course Overview

THIS CONFERENCE IS POSTPONED. THE NEW DATE IS TBD. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE PERIODICALLY.

This course is designed as a multi-part educational activity spanning three days, either taken individually or together. Day One, Advances in Stroke 2020, reviews the latest in stroke care, including acute treatments as well as secondary prevention and post-stroke care, through a series of interactive, case-based discussions. Days Two and Three, Foundations of Neurologic Practice 2020: Common Problems in Clinical and Advanced Neurology, are designed to enhance diagnostic and management skills related to neurologic conditions most frequently encountered in clinical practice. Course topics are designed to simulate patient encounters as they would occur in clinical practice. This course has been designed for neurologists, internal medicine and family practice physicians, emergency medicine physicians, cardiologists, radiologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals.
