Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

  • Develop a logical approach to the use of standard clinical electrophysiological techniques in the evaluation of common and uncommon neuromuscular disorders
  • Interpret the findings and clinical significance of abnormalities on nerve conduction studies
  • Recognize and interpret the clinical significance of EMG waveforms on needle EMG
  • Identify technical pitfalls associated with EEG and the normal and variant patterns of pediatric and adult patients
  • Interpret the findings and clinical significance of abnormalities on EEG studies
  • Integrate the various clinical neurophysiology studies (evoked potentials, autonomic tests, sleep studies) in the evaluation of patients with disorders of the central nervous system
