Description: 

The Neuroscience Service Line is hosting a condensed version of its annual event where neurologists, neuro sub-specialists, and neuro APCs can expand their knowledge, strengthen professional relationships, and align with Sutter Health’s vision of empowering providers to deliver world-class neuroscience care to every patient via: Collaboration and strategy (Aligning sub-service lines and encouraging cross-disciplinary strategy planning through structured pre-symposium meetings on Friday); Educational synergy (Providing physicians and APCs cutting-edge clinical updates and direct channels of service line empowerment through an accredited symposium presented by peers on Saturday); and Mobilizing a One Sutter (Demonstrating investment in clinician growth and well-being with an exclusive and memorable experience, inclusive of a post-event reception and social networking dinner). This symposium will provide attendees with knowledge about the latest medical and surgical approaches in neuroscience, spanning updated diagnostic, treatment, and management techniques for a variety of neurological diseases. The sharing and discussion of this information will enable physicians and allied health professionals to apply improved decision-making practices in the prevention, early identification, management and referral of patients with neuroscience-related disorders. Attendees will be better equipped to care for patients with various neurological conditions after learning from experts in fields such as stroke care; memory care; pain management; and neurosurgery. Insight into these updated diagnostic and treatment abilities is critical to the management of increasingly complex and diverse patient populations across California.
