Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders
Brought to you by: Oakstone
Full Course: 30.5AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for CME / CEU / CPD; (EXPIRES 11/30/23)
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 2 (EMND2): Convenient and Comprehensive Neurology CME
The Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Case-Based Approach continuing medical education program consists of 35 one-hour lectures that focus on a wide range of peripheral nerve diseases.
Key sections include focal syndromes, generalized disorders, motor neuron diseases, polyneuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, myopathies and special topics. This online CME course incorporates patient examples to illustrate typical and atypical presentations, and will help you to better:
Apply best practices for evaluation of patients presenting with actual or suspected neuromuscular complaints
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.
