Friday, September 25, 2009
Executive Caterers at Landerhaven
Mayfield Heights, Ohio
Description
The 7th Annual Pediatric Neurology Update Seminar will offer participants a current and comprehensive evidence-based approach to contemporary medical problems faced by health care providers caring for children. The major focus of this year’s seminar is newborn neurology and movement disorders in children, two areas that remain significant contributors to morbidity in our population. The field of neonatal brain monitoring is still in the developmental and research stage and this seminar will disseminate information about this very important and exciting new direction for neonatology. We will also focus on recent advances in the evaluation and emerging therapeutic modalities in the management of two common pediatric neurological problems: chronic daily headaches and spasticity in children.
The seminar features an outstanding panel of speakers who will offer participants a state-of-the-art perspective in scientific inquiry and clinical practice relevant to the evaluation and management of common pediatric neurological problems.
We once again look forward to having you take part in what promises to be an exciting and dynamic conversation.
