reduce inappropriate testing; initiate earlier\, condition-specific counseling and care plans. \n• Strengthen bedside recognition of movement phenomenology through case videos; apply structured diagnostic frameworks; initiate first-line management or referral when indicated. \n \n \n\nMultiple Sclerosis \n• 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. \n• Improved awareness and early recognition of immune-related neurological adverse events will facilitate timely interventions\, thereby reducing morbidity in affected patients. \n \n \n\nStroke \n• Apply current diagnostic strategies to distinguish benign conditions such as migraine aura or visual snow from urgent ischemic causes of transient visual loss. \n• Define the 2023 revisions to the AAN brain death criteria. \n \n \n\nCognitive Disorders \n• 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. \n• 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. \n \n \n\nGeneral Neurology \n• Understand the use and value of the different imaging modalities used in diagnosing Cervical Spondylotic Myopathy. \n• Properly identify those patients who are at risk for a spinal cord injury. \n \n \n\nNeuropsychology Division \n• Describe factors believed to be contributory to cognitive difficulties and guidelines to address them. \n• Understand a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques that can promote a better quality of life and treatment outcomes for patients with neurological conditions. \n \n\n \n\nFeatured Speakers\nThis conference features over 45 expert faculty members from the University of Miami and leading institutions nationwide. \n\n\nManuel Melo-Bicchi\, M.D. \n \n\nNaiara Garcia Losarcos\, M.D. \n \n\nMarcella Coutts\, M.D. \n \n\nMaria Raquel Lopez\, M.D. \n \n\nGaston Baslett\, M.D. \n \n\nMarina Kushnirsky\, M.D. \n \n\nColin Hill\, M.D. \n \n\nJuan Blaquier\, M.D. \n \n\nRuham Nasany\, M.D. \n \n\nTeshamae Monteith\, M.D. \n \n\nAlexandra Cocores\, M.D. \n \n\nLiza Smirnoff\, M.D. \n \n\nDanielle Horn\, M.D. \n \n\nTayina Hyppolite\, M.D. \n \n\nJuan Cabrera Pulla\, M.D. \n \n\nMark Roberts\, M.D. \n \n\nNathan Carberry\, M.D. \n \n\nMartin Hyland\, M.D. \n \n\nJason Margolesky\, M.D. \n \n\nDanielle Shpiner\, M.D. \n \n\nIhtsham Ul Haq\, M.D. \n \n\nYashira Torres\, M.D. \n \n\nPriyanka Atit\, M.D. \n \n\nAdriana Ochoa\, M.D. \n \n\nMarina Sarno\, Psy.D. \n \n\nKatalina Fernández McInerney\, Ph.D. \n \n\nGustavo Rey\, Ph.D. \n \n\nSonya Kaur\, Ph.D. \n \n\nAnnelly Bure-Reyes\, Ph.D. \n \n\nHong Jiang\, M.D.\, Ph.D. \n \n\nA.
