Two day course provides an update of selected topics in neurology and clinical neurophysiology. This course is suitable for neurologists, neuroscientists, and general internists, gerontologists, psychiatrists and physiatrists, anesthesiologists and allied health professionals with a particular interest in patients with neurological disorders who wish to update their knowledge of the mechanisms and treatments of these disorders, and to improve their expertise in clinical neurophysiology as practiced in their private offices. A professional exhibition for the industry (pharmaceutical and imaging equipment) will take place adjacent to the conference halls.
