Greener Meeting

Overview

This meeting is designed for the practicing neurologist and provides a review of clinical neurology with emphasis on areas of recent advances and progress in patient management. Both current concepts and new advances in neurologic disorders will be covered.

Educational Objectives

Based on discussions with UCSF faculty and practicing physicians at other institutions, the topics were chosen based on physician-identified need for practice-based knowledge.

The purpose of this program is to increase attendee competence and improve clinical practice in neurology, specifically to:

  • Apply new concepts to epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, aging and movement disorders in practice;
  • Recognize and select diagnosis and management of stroke, multiple sclerosis, headache, dementia, and apply best practices for their management.
