March 6 - 8, 2025 - Mayo Clinic Florida - Jacksonville, Florida
With both a neurosurgery track and a neurology track, this course is designed as a review of targeting, programming, surgical approaches, and operative techniques pertaining to surgical treatment of epilepsy, facial pain, and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia. The course offers a cadaver workshop as well as augmented reality and advanced programming workshops. The course is designed for neurosurgeons, pain specialists, neurologists, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and mid-level providers interested in movement disorders, to provide a global approach to the movement disorder patients.
Target Audience
Neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists and NPs, PAs, nurses, and residents/fellows in the fields of neurosurgery and neurology
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Determine the appropriate microsurgical techniques for treatment of complex epilepsy
- Identify complex surgical approaches for facial pain treatment
- Demonstrate proficiency in deep brain stimulation programming techniques on the programming tablets
- Identify multi-specialty treatment options for refractory headaches
- Identify the major deep brain stimulation procedures to various movement disorders and epilepsy affecting the brain.
- Apply multidisciplinary decision-making to management of complex movement disorder and epilepsy cases
- Demonstrate proficiency in techniques during hands-on sessions on cadaveric specimens
- Determine the appropriate stereotactic techniques for treatment of complex epilepsy
Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
