Neurology Exchange

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Neurology Colleagues:

We are pleased to welcome you to our inaugural Neurology Exchange Virtual Conference. From September 20-22, 2022, this innovative CME/CE experience will take you on a unique learning journey, which begins when you enter the Virtual Conference Center. In this space, livestreamed sessions will present the latest education in neurology and discuss practical application of emerging advances into clinical care. 

The comprehensive agenda includes the most relevant topics that impact neurology practice today. At a glance, these are: 

• Session I: Multiple Sclerosis: Insights into Optimal Care 

• Session II: A Review of Rare Conditions Across the Lifespan: Adult Neuromuscular Disorders 

• Session III: Perspectives in Optimizing the Timely Delivery of Stroke Care  

• Session IV: Epilepsy: Expert Perspectives on Improving Outcomes

• Session V: Parkinson Disease 

• Session VI: Alzheimer Disease: Insights into Optimal Care   

• Session VII: Migraine: A Review of Novel Therapeutics 

• Session VIII: A Review of Rare Conditions Across the Lifespan: Pediatric Neuromuscular Disorders 

• Session IX: Neurology Practice Updates 

Nationally renowned faculty experts will engage you and your fellow learners in the live virtual sessions. Take a seat in the Live Theater, where audience interaction will be enhanced by polling and ample time for live Q&A. Also included in the agenda will be daily oral presentations on selected abstracts.  

And, as in any live conference venue, you will find robust opportunities to interact with your colleagues beyond the educational sessions. There is much to explore! We encourage you to take full advantage of these conference features, in which you can: 

• Benefit from peer-to-peer learning in the Virtual Poster Hall 

• Network with other neurology specialists and practitioners in the Lounge 

• Enjoy friendly and fast-paced competition via MedChallenge 

• Visit booths in the Exhibit Hall (without lugging a tote bag) 

As outlined in the program, each of the live sessions will be held Tuesday through Thursday evening. All sessions times will be Eastern time. Should you be unable to attend, each recorded and accredited session will be available on the virtual platform for on-demand access until December 2022. After that, an enduring summary webcast and downloadable components will be available on Medscape.org in a resource center dedicated specifically to this conference. The educational content will be CME/CE-certified for an additional year. 

Once again, Welcome! We hope you will enjoy this one-of-a-kind virtual conference, benefit from the learning opportunities, and gather many clinical pearls to “bring home” to your practice! 

Sincerely,

Michael S. Okun, MD
