Neurological disorders affect millions of Americans each year, with stroke being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in an aging population. To offer patients the most effective treatment options, it is essential that physicians and the interdisciplinary healthcare team remain updated on the latest advancements in medical and surgical treatments for neurological diseases.

This educational program will cover critical topics, including:
• Stroke risks associated with COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses
• Stroke risk reduction with modern weight loss medications
• Stroke rehabilitation techniques
• Medical management of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes
• Controversies in stroke intervention
• Management of cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas

• Seizure management in the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit
• Brain death examination protocols

Each session will be followed by a Q&A, allowing for interactive discussions with the audience.
By providing in-depth education on these neurological conditions and the latest management strategies, this program will equip healthcare providers with the skills to plan more effective treatment approaches, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Target Audience:
