Needs
Previous program participants have requested and supported the need for a comprehensive review and update in selected areas for the practicing neurologist with a focus on movement disorders. As clinical neurology continues to evolve with the explosion of discoveries in the neurosciences, the neurology faculty and the CME planning committee strongly concur with the need to such a conference.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the activity, the participant should be able to:
- Describe appropriate use of thrombolytics in acute ischemic stroke, and recognize potential complications
- Evaluate appropriate medication usage in women with epilepsy across their lifetime
