Overview

Registration for the 2024 Myology Course is currently at capacity. To be notified if space becomes available, please email [email protected].

Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University will be holding the 13th Annual NCH/OSU Myology Course in person from August 26 – 30, 2024.

This course is oriented toward pre- and postdoctoral MD and PhD trainees, and features faculty from Nationwide Children’s Hospital, The Ohio State University, the NCH/OSU Center for Muscle Health & Neuromuscular Disorders, and invited national and international experts. The expert faculty will address, clinical syndromes, mechanisms of pathogenesis, molecular therapeutics, and aspects of career development.

This is the only U.S. training course of its kind, featuring a mix of basic and clinical science lectures followed by specific training in either clinical treatment protocols or basic science laboratory techniques. The goal of this course is to provide an up-to-date and expert survey of neuromuscular diseases and basic muscle biology, and to help trainees go beyond a basic understanding of muscle disease by gaining insights and experience from experts in the field. We ultimately want to help prepare the next generation of clinicians and translational researchers for successful research careers.

Both clinical- and laboratory-based trainees are welcome. We have structured the course so that both groups will be together for morning lectures. In the afternoon, clinical trainees will participate in more focused clinical activities while laboratory trainees will participate in wet-lab activities. At the end of each day, the groups will rejoin for a keynote lecture.

Transportation will be provided between Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University for course events, as well as to and from the hotel.
