EMG Pearls is a recurring lecture series centered on the electrophysiologic methods and evaluation utilized in the diagnosis of common neuromuscular conditions including neuropathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease, and neuromuscular junction disorders. The basics of nerve conduction studies and electromyography are reviewed annually, and then within each specific lecture session a neuromuscular topic is explored from the standpoint of relevant anatomy, clinical history, and neurophysiologic findings....

The purpose of this conference is to improve clinician competence and to enhance the care of patients with epilepsy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. We will present ongoing challenging and or educational cases for small group discussion. Case discussions will include a review of the relevant history, imaging and EEG findings in the context of the current literature. Discussion will promote physician competence and also provide input to the care of patients that result in improved care.

This course involves appropriate selection and presentation of Neurology clinical cases by the provider for consideration of Whole Exome Sequencing analysis for diagnostic purposes. For those cases for which WES analysis is approved, there will be a review and discussion of results and any related changes in medical management based on a diagnostic finding. The course will continue to enhance the collaboration of the Genetics and Neurology services and effective application, utilization and interpretation...

Review of new high quality literature In neonatal care with inclusion of didactic content on statistics and study design

Quality improvement is a science supported by a rapidly expanding body of evidence. In order to maximize the impact of QI projects, leaders need to enhance their knowledge and skills in this science. The Quality Improvement Essentials course (QIE) prepares staff to lead quality improvement projects. Participants learn how to (1) identify areas for improvement; (2) design interventions to address gaps between current and desired outcomes, (3) collect and analyze performance data, (4) report outcomes,...

The course is intended to review normal and abnormal Pediatric EEG patterns useful in clinical practice for Pediatric neurology attendings, residents and fellows. The course also reviews EEG findings associated with clinical seizures for specific classification of the different epilepsy syndromes. The program also reviews basic concepts of electromyography, nerve conduction velocities and neuromuscularcases.

This a multidisciplinary meeting to discuss patients referred for evaluation for fetal anomalies, including diagnosis, perinatal and postnatal management. It includes review of patient history, genetic testing results, fetal imaging (OB ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, fetal MRI), and discussion of indications for fetal intervention, pregnancy management, delivery planning, and postnatal care. Those in attendance include physicians and staff from a diverse group of pediatrics specialties (Neonatology,...

This series serves 3 educational purposes. First, the presentation of cases teaches neurology attendings and residents about basic neuroanatomy, pathological correlation with clinical manifestations, and the pros and cons of different imaging methods. Second, the series teaches neurology attendings, residents and trainees in other disciplines about the radiological manifestations of neurological diseases, and teaches all attendees about advances in brain imaging technology. Third, the series provides...
