Date & Location

Saturday, June 11, 2022, 7:45 AM – 4:15 PM, Smilow Center Auditorium, Philadelphia, PA

Course Overview

In the last few years, there has been dramatic advancement in the diagnostic tools and treatment options available for neuromuscular disorders. While this is a welcome development, it may be challenging for neurologists taking care of patients with neuromuscular disorders to keep up to date with all of these advances. The purpose of the Penn Neuromuscular Symposium is to provide both a basic approach to patients with neuromuscular disorders and an update on novel therapeutic agents and future directions. The symposium will also enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange among neurologists and other healthcare professionals taking care of this unique patient population, which will hope will also facilitate referral to exciting clinical trials here at Penn.

Target Audience

Specialties – NEUROLOGY, PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION – Neuromuscular Medicine
