Miami Neuroscience Symposium, 12th Annual

Thursday - Friday, November 7- 8, 2024
Hilton Miami Dadeland, Miami, Florida

Neuroscience is a rapidly advancing field, with new discoveries, technologies and treatment modalities emerging regularly. The Miami Neuroscience Symposium presents a comprehensive curriculum dedicated to cutting-edge, evidence-driven approaches for clinicians and healthcare practitioners specializing in the treatment and support of patients within neuroscience, from emergency care to rehabilitation. The distinguished faculty will guide engaging sessions, showcasing intricate case studies and pioneering treatment approaches.

Topics covered encompass a wide range of areas, including:

  • AI and the future integration in neuroscience healthcare.
  • Movement disorders: diagnosis, management and treatment.
  • Emergency management of neurological conditions.
  • Neurocritical care and acute interventions.
  • Multidisciplinary approaches to rehabilitation and sustained patient care.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the interplay between different healthcare disciplines in the assessment, diagnosis and management of neurological disorders, such as stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.
  • Discuss the opportunities and limitations of AI-driven solutions in neuroscience research and healthcare.
  • Identify clinical features and diagnostic criteria for different movement disorders to facilitate accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Utilize a multidisciplinary approach to managing movement disorders, involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists.
  • Recognize the clinical presentations and differential diagnosis of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), facilitating timely and accurate diagnosis.
  • Apply principles of neuroprotective strategies and secondary injury prevention in critically ill neurological patients, including temperature management, glycemic control and seizure prophylaxis.
  • Utilize current, evidence-based guidelines and treatment algorithms for the management of epilepsy, including pharmacological interventions and surgical options.
  • Discuss emerging research in identification and management strategies in neurocognitive disorders.
  • Describe the principles of neurorehabilitation and the goals of rehabilitation in individuals with neurological disorders, including maximizing functional independence, enhancing quality of life and promoting community reintegration.
  • Recognize the indications for neurosurgical interventions in various neurological conditions, including brain tumors, vascular malformations, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord compression and peripheral nerve disorders.
  • Describe the pathophysiology of neuromuscular disorders, including autoimmune diseases, hereditary neuropathies, myopathies, motor neuron diseases and neuromuscular junction disorders.
  • Recognize the clinical manifestations and diagnostic criteria for common neuromuscular disorders.
  • Discuss the role of advanced diagnostic tests and neurophysiological studies in the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders and neuroimmunological diseases.
  • Apply the latest evidence-based guidelines and protocols for acute stroke management.
  • Discuss the role of neuroendovascular procedures in the treatment of acute stroke and prevention of recurrent stroke.
