The Johns Hopkins University Department of Neurology presents 20th Annual Practical Update in Outpatient Neurology Friday, October 23, 2009 Don’t miss the Early-Bird Special:  Register by Sept 15, 2009 Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Baltimore, Maryland This activity is jointly provided by The Institute for Johns Hopkins Nursing. Description Formerly titled “Neurology for the Neurologist and the Primary Care Practitioner,” this activity will emphasize updates in practical knowledge of commonly encountered problems across a broad cross section of neurological subspecialty areas. The field of neurology is progressing rapidly on all fronts, spurred by advances in imaging, basic science, translational research, and therapeutics. The clinician evaluating a neurological complaint is now faced with informational overload when attempting to apply evidence-based medicine to the care of the individual patient seated in the exam room. The goal of this conference is therefore to distill down key aspects of patient diagnosis and management in important, prevalent, dangerous, and treatable neurological conditions. Who Should Attend This activity is intended for internists, primary care physicians, family practitioners, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, neurologists, gerontologists, rehabilitation physicians and other interested individuals, particularly those who see patients in the outpatient setting. Objectives After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to: • Describe effective, practical strategies for evaluation and treatment of patients presenting with a variety of specific neurological complaints in the outpatient setting • List differential diagnoses for the selected neurological complaints • Name the appropriate tests and medications commonly used in workup and treatment of selected outpatient neurological diseases, and describe their common limitations • Recognize characteristics of neurological outpatients appropriate for referral to specialty consultation • Identify limitations of current knowledge and potential future developments in a variety of neurological disorders Accreditation Statement The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
