The course is designed to provide clinicians with the most recent developments and the latest advances in the different fields of neurology and neuroscience, including epilepsy, sleep disorders, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, and neuromuscular diseases, all of which are critical in solving clinical problems, diagnosing and treating patients, and improving the quality of patient care.

The stroke seminar on Saturday is designed as a stand-alone eight-hour Continuing Medical Education activity to provide the annual CME credits needed for stroke team personnel at designated stroke centers.
