Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders
Brought to you by: Oakstone
Full Course: 32.75AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for CME / CEU / CPD; (EXPIRES 07/31/21)
Course(s) are appropriate for: This educational activity was designed for Neurologists, Physiatrists (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation doctors), Neurology residents and fellows PM&R residents and fellows.
Series 1 (EMNO1): Stay Current with Major Advances
This CME program focuses on basic and advanced electrodiagnostic techniques used in the evaluation of patients with actual or suspected neuromuscular disease. Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Comprehensive Review includes the latest research, updates and current standards of care to help you better:
Recognize classic, possible, and unlikely neuromuscular disorders according to clinical symptoms
Assess the need of laboratory tests, electrodiagnostic studies, imaging, and muscle and nerve biopsies to establish a diagnosis
Illustrate effective management of painful neuropathies
Outline strategies to deliver the best care possible to patients with neuromuscular disorders
This course is strictly ONLINE with no download – an internet connection is critical in order to do this course. Do not complete testing prior to the end of your chosen date period or your dates will be adjusted.
