9th Annual Bridging Breakthroughs in Neuroscience from Bench to Bedside

Li Ka Shing Center for Learning & Knowledge, Stanford, CA

A Continuing Medical Education Conference presented by the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Sponsored by the Stanford University School of Medicine

Statement of Need

This CME activity seeks to fulfill the educational needs of healthcare professionals who manage patients with neurologic diseases and disorders. This symposium will review the latest advances and best practices in the rapidly-evolving field of neuroscience by addressing clinical challenges in a variety of areas, including dementia, degenerative brain diseases, movement disorders, neuromuscular disorders, headache and pain, stroke, and neuro-oncology. Emphasis will be placed on information required to evaluate novel screening, develop diagnostic strategies, and identify the most effective therapeutic options for optimal treatment and/or referral of patients. Lectures with question-and-answer sessions or panel discussions will afford learners the opportunity to examine practice dilemmas, discuss available evidence, and apply effective case management.

Target Audience

This is a national program designed for physicians, nurses and allied health professionals specializing in Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Primary Care, Neurology, Interventional Radiology, Neurosurgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Neuro-Oncology.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Review key factors important in the development and diagnosis of degenerative brain disease
Outline current diagnostic and treatment options available for the management of appropriate patients with neuromuscular disorders
Integrate new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of stroke into clinical decision making with patients who are at risk or have experienced stroke
Incorporate advances in medical, radiological, and/or surgical therapy into treatment strategies for appropriate patients with brain tumors
Summarize patient- and disease-related factors critical to the differential diagnosis of tremor
Outline critical patient-related factors for the selection of appropriate candidates for device-assisted treatment of movement disorders
Apply current clinical evidence when planning treatment strategies for patients with headache, back, or other types of chronic pain
Incorporate advanced techniques into the neurological exam of appropriate patients under evaluation for neurological disorders
Describe current clinical evidence regarding the use of neurostimulation in patients with refractory epilepsy
