N3 - Neuroscience in the Clinic: Stem Cells
| Event Time: | Tuesday May 7, 2019 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm |
| Topic(s): | General Neurology, MS and CNS Inflammatory Disease |
| Director(s): | Paul George MD, PhD, MSE, Antonio Omuro MD |
| Description: | Stem cells represent an exciting possibility for neural therapeutics and have shown promise in ongoing clinical trials. This session presents current clinical cases demonstrating the promise and challenges of stem cell use in neurology today. The cases are followed by an in-depth look at the mechanisms of action of stem cells across multiple neurologic specialties and a discussion of where the field is headed. |
| Completion Message: | Participants will have knowledge of common clinical challenges that arise with patients seeking stem cell therapies and receive an update of current breakthroughs in the field. |
| CME Credits: | 2 |
| Core Competencies: | Patient Care, Medical Knowledge |
