ABOUT THE COURSE

Welcome to the 17th Annual Cleveland Clinic Neurology Update. On behalf of the Neurological Institute at the Cleveland Clinic we would like to welcome you to our annual course and hope you find it valuable in your continuing care of patients with neurological disease. We are excited to bring you a hybrid meeting that is a clinically focused review course with updated information on a broad range of neurological conditions. We have incorporated smaller group breakout sessions for a more connected interaction and experience. The case-based breakouts will focus on headache, dementia and Parkinson’s disease. All course participants will have a chance to attend each session.

This year we will address genetic testing, neuromuscular diseases/conditions, tumor suppressor syndromes, neuroinfectious diseases, brain incidentalomas and neuroradiology. We will continue to include presentations on stroke updates, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and sleep. Our interactive course will allow time for Q&A after each lecture and we will encourage active participation using the audience response/polling system to incorporate a self-assessment where you will see how your answer choices compare to your peers.

The course will also continue to offer CME Self-Assessment credits approved by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology for continuing certification mandated by ABMS.

We hope this course adds to your knowledge base and enhances patient care. We look forward to learning with you during this course!
