University of Miami Neurology Update and Stroke Intensive Review 2026

Description

Include: 49 videos Only NO PDFS

1. Overview

The 59th Annual Neurology Update and Stroke Intensive Review 2026 provides clinicians with a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the diagnosis and management of neurologic disorders, including stroke, cognitive neurology/brain health, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), movement disorders, neuromuscular disorders, headache/migraine, neuro-oncology, sleep disorders and general neurology. Challenging diagnostic and therapeutic questions will be raised in each session around representative clinical vignettes, targeted reviews of the topic by the faculty and panel discussions. Exchange of information between faculty and attendees will take place during questions and answers sessions after each presentation as well as round table and panel discussions.

Course Date: Thursday, March 5, 2026, 8:00 AM – Saturday, March 7, 2026, 6:00 PM, Loews Coral Gables, Miami, FL

2. Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:

1. By evaluating a detailed semiology, physicians will be able to more clearly distinguish the underlying etiology of paroxysmal psychiatric or behavioral symptoms.
2. Assess and anticipate potential risks of misdiagnosis and delay in proper treatment implementation.
3. Expand understanding diagnosis, novel therapeutics and evolving pathophysiology.
4. Integrate novel therapies into individualized care plans to reduce disability.
5. Assess the nuances in the diagnostics and management of meningiomas.
6. Improve the understanding of neurologic complications of cancer treatment and drug delivery.
7. Differentiate cancer immunotherapy–related myopathies from other inflammatory and toxic myopathies.
8. Recognize clinical red flags for life-threatening overlap presentations (myositis, myocarditis, myasthenia gravis)
9. Improve diagnostic accuracy when distinguishing PD from atypical parkinsonism using practical algorithms and bedside red flags; reduce inappropriate testing; initiate earlier, condition-specific counseling and care plans.
10. Strengthen bedside recognition of movement phenomenology through case videos; apply structured diagnostic frameworks; initiate first-line management or referral when indicated.
11. Identify and appropriately utilize high-efficacy therapies early in the disease course, optimizing long-term outcomes and reducing relapse-related morbidity in patients with MS.
12. Improved awareness and early recognition of immune-related neurological adverse events will facilitate timely interventions, thereby reducing morbidity in affected patients.
13. Apply current diagnostic strategies to distinguish benign conditions such as migraine aura or visual snow from urgent ischemic causes of transient visual loss.
14. Define the 2023 revisions to the AAN brain death criteria.
15. By following the National Institute on Aging- Alzheimer Association criteria for Alzheimer’s disease, Mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease, and presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease, clinicians will be able to accurately diagnose this disorder.
16. By following the McKeith criteria for Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Mild Cognitive Impairment due to DLB, clinicians will be better able to recognize and diagnose this disorder.
17. Understand the use and value of the different imaging modalities used in the diagnosing Cervical Spondylotic Myopathy.
18. Properly identifying those patients who are at risk for a spinal cord injury.
19. Describe factors believed to be contributory to cognitive difficulties and guidelines to address them.
20. Understand a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques that can promote a better quality of life and treatment outcomes for patients with neurological conditions.
