Cleveland Clinic

At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to: Describe new updates in multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies including BTK inhibitors and extended interval dosing with natalizumab. Explain the results of the DISCO-MS study and current approaches to disease-modifying therapy discontinuation in multiple sclerosis patients. Describe the role of health-related quality of life in children with multiple sclerosis. Summarize the role of wellness and women’s health in management strategies for patients with multiple sclerosis. Critically appraise neurologic complications of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Explain updates in clinical research pertaining to multiple sclerosis and the proposed diagnostic criteria for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease. Describe the latest MS rehabilitation, including dry needling, mobility devices, and high-intensity aerobic exercise. This update is intended for health care practitioners engaged in the care of patients with MS and related disorders. We will cover a broad range of topics of value to health care professionals from a wide array of backgrounds including, physicians, nurses, physician assistants, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, psychologists and other health care practitioners who treat patients with MS.

Thomas Jefferson University

Advancements in the field of neurosurgery are occurring at an increasingly rapid rate. The integration of these advances into clinical practice often lags behind the rate at which they emerge in the literature. Therefore, a critical appraisal of the most recent and most influential advances in the various fields of neurosurgery is necessary to effectively incorporate these advances into clinical practice. Thomas Jefferson University is a world leader in neurosurgical research and practice. Current faculty and alumni from its residency and fellowship training programs are often on the cutting edge of neurosurgery. In this hybrid CE event, we will highlight the latest advances in the field of neurosurgery and identify ways in which practitioners from all fields can improve their practice and optimize the care for their patients by effectively integrating these changes into this practice. In addition to the major topics of neurovascular disease, neurooncology, complex spinal surgery, brain computer interface , neuroimaging, and functional neurosurgery, we will also discuss how to evaluate one’s practice, improve patient safety, and limit medical errors using quality improvement tools. All practitioners who take care of patients with neurological illness could benefit from this event, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-intensivists, neuroradiologist, anesthesiologist, nurses, physician assistants, and practitioners who might refer patients for neurosurgical care.

Cleveland Clinic

Welcome to the 15th 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 our third 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 dementia, headache, Parkinson’s disease/movement disorders, EMG, EEG and atypical movement disorders. All course participants will have a chance to attend each session. This year we will address polyneuropathy, pain management, ALS, psychiatry and the importance of advanced practice providers (APP) as inpatient neurology consultants. We will continue to include presentations on stroke updates, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and neuroradiology (brain and spine). 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.
