Fellowship Webinar

Didactic Webinar Series

The ACTRIMS Didactic Webinar Series is offered nationally to neuroimmunology and MS fellows.  An expert lecturer will present on niche topics to increase the educational yield for trainees. This series provides a forum for trainees to engage with advanced faculty on a scheduled basis.

Goals

  1. To use a virtual platform to provide national didactics on high-yield niche topics in neuroimmunology
  2. To increase comfort levels among neuro-immunology trainees on high-yield niche topics in neuroimmunology
  3. To provide fellows with the opportunity for direct interactions with topic experts
  4. To facilitate discussion and networking among MS/Neuroimmunology trainees

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe the tools underlying MS/Neuroimmunology evidence-based-practice, including trial design, lab-based testing and imaging. 
  2. Compare the pathogenic mechanisms underlying MS and other neuroimmunologic diseases.
  3. Distinguish rare neuroimmune diseases and their mimics.
  4. Describe the issues affecting special populations (pediatric and advanced MS) and explain management strategies for these groups.
  5. Integrate cross-disciplinary tools to manage symptomatic concerns for MS and other neuroimmune diseases.
