COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
Designed for the busy clinician, this exciting full-day course will cover the most common movement disorders seen in clinical practice, including tremor, dystonia, tics, chorea and parkinsonism,as well as gait disorders. Participants will benefit from the expertise of our highly regarded movement disorders faculty, who will provide attendees with high-yield, practical information for
recognition, diagnosis, assessment and management of these movement disorders. The afternoon session is dedicated to “bedside teaching” sessions with actual patients. During these sessions, faculty will demonstrate movement disorders examination techniques and share clinical pearls so that participants can be more confident in diagnosing various movement disorders.
