19th Annual Neuroscience Conference to Highlight Leading Innovations, Advances

In its 19th year, Cleveland Clinic’s annual Innovations in Neuroscience conference is an insightful event designed to educate attendees about various neurological disorders, from diagnostics to recovery, using a multidisciplinary team approach. The agenda focuses not only on less common neurological diseases, but those of epidemic proportions.

The 2017 conference will take place on Friday, May 19, in Beachwood, Ohio, and will feature presentations from local and national experts in the field. Attendees will garner helpful knowledge and information on leading diagnostic, therapeutic and technological advances in neuroscience, as well as the latest on both sporadic and epidemic neurological diseases.

Neuroscience: it’s not black and white

Each year, the Innovations in Neuroscience conference addresses the most pressing topics in neuroscience. This year’s conference theme, “Grey Matters; It’s not all black and white,” sheds light on the many complexities present in the field of neuroscience to offer practitioners a broader perspective to help positively impact clinical outcomes.

“Healthcare professionals from a range of backgrounds – physician assistants, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and more – will all benefit from this in-depth conference as it is designed to help attendees develop a deeper understanding of the nuances of neurological diseases,” says Kimberly Hunter, MSN, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, Associate Chief Nursing Officer, Cleveland Clinic main campus and Director of Nursing, Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic health system. “The conference curriculum will give practitioners the tools they need to address the challenges often encountered in clinical practice.”
