Unveiling Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders: A Comprehensive Review (2014)

Neurologists and psychiatrists with packed schedules will find solace in the accessible and expert-led Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular CME.

Essential Insights: Closing Practice Gaps for Neurologists and Physiatrists

The program delves into addressing knowledge gaps in the clinical practice of neurologists and physiatrists. It specifically aims to refine clinical practices related to:

• Evaluating and treating motor neuron diseases
• Managing peripheral neuropathies (focal and generalized)
• Understanding neuromuscular junction disorders
• Diagnosing radiculopathies, plexopathies, and myopathies

The lectures will comprehensively guide participants through the appropriate timing for ordering specific laboratory tests, genetic analyses, nerve ultrasounds, muscle and nerve biopsies, and fundamental and advanced electrodiagnostic techniques used to evaluate diverse neuromuscular disorders.

National Expertise in Identifying Clinical Gaps

For each of the common and intricate disorders covered, esteemed practitioners with extensive clinical experience pinpointed knowledge gaps within their respective fields.

Targeted Audience: A Focus on Neurology and Physical Medicine

This activity is tailored to practicing neurologists and physiatrists, as well as residents and fellows specializing in Neurology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
