听
Dr. Nic Dupr茅 of Laval University听 and Dr. Karine Garneau of听Universit茅 de Montr茅al and the members of our organizing committee are pleased to announce that the 5th National Neuromuscular Review Course will be held on October 14-15, 2022听at The Neuro. The course will take place in-person and talks will be streamed for those that are unable to be present on site.
Who should attend
The review course is aimed at neurology residents and fellows from across Canada as well as at practicing community neurologists who are interested in a comprehensive review of the current principles and practices dealing with neuromuscular diseases.
Benefits of attending
This comprehensive review course may serve to fulfill part of the preparation requirements for trainees seeking to complete the Royal College Examinations in neurology and in related fields. We believe this program will assist all neurology residents in preparing for their examination. The course will bring community neurologists up to date on neuromuscular diseases so that ultimately they can improve the diagnosis and care of their patients.
Course topics
The course will present experts who will provide a state-of-the-art overview of topics such as motor neuron diseases, pediatrics, neuropathies, neuromuscular junction diseases and myopathies. The speakers will cover basic clinical concepts from diagnosis to therapeutics, from genomics to immunology. The program will include examination scenarios for those participants wishing to gain experience in examination situations.
Registration is available at no cost for residents however registration is required in order to attend.
