Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Comprehensive Review 2019

Stay Current with Major Advances

This CME program focuses on basic and advanced electrodiagnostic techniques used in the evaluation of patients with actual or suspected neuromuscular disease. Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Comprehensive Review includes the latest research, updates and current standards of care to help you better:

• Recognize classic, possible, and unlikely neuromuscular disorders according to clinical symptoms
• Assess the need of laboratory tests, electrodiagnostic studies, imaging, and muscle and nerve biopsies to establish a diagnosis
• Illustrate effective management of painful neuropathies
• Outline strategies to deliver the best care possible to patients with neuromuscular disorders

Expand Your Skills

Available online or via audio MP3 CDs, Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Comprehensive Review provides a maximum of 32.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ and access to unbiased, evidence-based content and case-based reviews so you can expand your knowledge and incorporate the latest guidelines into your daily practice.

The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology has reviewed the Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders – A Comprehensive Review and has approved this program as part of a comprehensive self-assessment program, which is mandated by the ABMS as a necessary component of Maintenance of Certification.
