   Mayo Clinic Symposium on Concussion in Sport: Onsite Live Courses

   Concussion is a major public health priority that transcends age, gender and sport. The under-reporting and recognition of concussion; and the potential for short-term catastrophic consequences and disabling long-term neurological impairment from repeated concussions has prompted the passage of legislation in many states that requires the immediate removal from play of an athlete suspected of having a concussion; mandatory concussion education of all those who intersect with an athlete; and return-to-play clearance by a qualified health care provider. This state-of-the-art symposium highlights the epidemiology of concussion in sport; the pathophysiology of concussion; sideline and outpatient clinical evaluation; standard and novel diagnostic strategies; and implementation of return-to-activity guidelines. The format includes platform lectures, small group workshops, panel discussions, and live two-way remote audio/video concussion evaluations using robotic teleconcussion technology. The faculty is comprised of renowned scientific and clinical experts in the field of concussion from Mayo Clinic and leading US academic medical centers. The intended audience includes athletic trainers, athletic directors, allied health professionals and physicians involved, or with an interest, in the evaluation and management of individuals with concussion.

   Movers and Shakers in Neurology: Epilepsy and Movement Disorders Live Courses

   This program is intended for neurologists, physicians in internal medicine, family practice and general practice, pediatricians, physician assistants, nurses, and allied health professionals who are involved in the care of patients with seizures, epilepsy and movement disorders. Patients that are seen to “move” or “shake” are commonly seen in the practice of neurology. Seizures are a common neurological problem and are among the top three serious chronic neurological illness seen by clinicians. More than one in ten people will experience a single seizure at some point in their life, and more than 2.5 million men and women have epilepsy in the United States. Uncontrolled “attacks” may result from misdiagnosis. Abnormal movements for patients with movement disorders may be difficult to recognize or categorize because of their unusual appearance. Some are very complex, some subtle, and some variable. Similarly, seizures may be subtle, bizarre looking, and fail to respond to antiepileptic medication. Both conditions overlap with a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders that range from those patients with epilepsy, movement disorders, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Medical or surgical management may require consultation or involve other ancillary diagnostic techniques such as video-EEG monitoring to uncover those incorrectly treated for illness that are due to another cause. Mistakes in treatment can carry serious economic and personal consequences as well as subject the patient to mistreatment with medications that carry the potential for serious adverse events. There have been significant advances in the understanding and management of these disorders. This course will address the gap between these advances and their application in the treatment of epilepsy and movement disorders. This course will consist of an interactive and didactic format including multimedia presentations and will allow audience participation. Additionally, this course will offer opportunities for participants to ask questions about the cases discussed and/or present their own cases to the faculty panels.
