What is the overview of the 8th Annual UCLA Review of Clinical Neurology - A Virtual Conference?

Course Description:
The UCLA Review of Clinical Neurology is intended to present a wide and practical review for neurologists wishing to increase their proficiency in diagnosing and treating core disease states in neurology. The CME Conference is offered as an online virtual platform but would allow for interactive audience participation to augment learning. The CME webcast is organized to accommodate attendees with a review of clinical neurology based on major disease topics. Each core topic will furnish a review of the clinical spectrum of the disorders, pathophysiology, etiology, diagnostic techniques, and management options as well as any COVID-19 specific updates specific to the specialty area.

This activity is accredited and authorized to present CME Category 1 credits and can be used to satisfy the competency requirement for the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) and ABPN-Self Assessment.

Course Highlights:
Lectures will utilize cases and audience response systems (ARS) to support the participants to assess their knowledge and actively involve them in the learning process. Each lecture will cover a discussion of three recent advancements made in the last year.

At the conclusion of this online CME activity, participants will be able to efficiently use this educational symposium to enhance their clinical knowledge of key neurologic disorders, increase their horizons on recent discoveries about disease pathology, appreciate new diagnostic tools and think critically about management options.
• Analyze of the neurologic manifestation of COVID-19 infections on the nervous system
• Extensive evidence-based review of common neurological problems
• presentation of common and primary neurologic conditions, emphasizing practical aspects of clinical care, highlighting recent discoveries in disease mechanisms, pathophysiology, diagnostic tools and recently approved treatment option
• Audience participation in case-based discussions
• Practical, evidence-based treatment options based on recent publications of the American Academy of Neurology Practice Guidelines
• Presentation of three different things focusing on recent advances in the clinical domain presented
• Increasing the educational value of lecture through a video demonstration of unique clinical manifestations
• Consideration of “hot topics” such as neurologic aspects of COVID-19, disclosure of Neurogenetic test results and key innovations in representative disease states

What are the objectives of the 8th Annual UCLA Review of Clinical Neurology - A Virtual Conference?

Course Objectives:

At the conclusion of this CME course, participants should be able to:
• Employ most contemporary evidence-based practices to improve confidence in diagnosing and managing major disease states in neurology, including multiple sclerosis, headaches, epilepsy, central nervous system infections including COVID-19 infection, movement disorders, dementia, sleep disorders, delirium, neuromuscular diseases, neuro-otology, stroke management, neuro-ophthalmology, pain, and ethical issues in neurology
• Review the efficiency of neurologic testing including neuropsychiatric testing, sleep studies, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological assessments including EEG and EMG/NVC
• Recognize the most current and appropriate therapeutic strategies for common neurologic disorders and complaints
• Catalog, articulate and apply ethical principles to the care of patients with a complex and challenging neurological disorder
• Implement the principles of ethics and in the practice of neurology
