0867_CPMC_Neuroscience Symposium_Live

San Francisco, CA US

June 25, 2026

Description:

This one-day symposium is designed for a multidisciplinary neuroscience audience, including nurses and ancillary departments involved in the care of patients with neurological deficits related to stroke, tumors, or seizures. Participants will explore the clinical features, pharmacological management, and monitoring considerations for stroke and neurosurgical patients, while developing the skills to differentiate between acute care and rehabilitation needs across these populations. Through patient-centered case scenarios, attendees will strengthen their ability to analyze priority nursing interventions and build comprehensive care plans that integrate acute management strategies, rehabilitation goals, and medication considerations.
