Dear All,
While it is well known that Bengaluru is the IT and knowledge capital of
the country; NIMHANS, an Institute of National Importance, is one of
Asia’s leading neuroscience research and teaching centers. The
Department of Neurology at NIMHANS is dedicated to training of
students in Neurology and is one of the major contributors to
manpower development in Neurology in India. With this National
mandate, the Department of Neurology at NIMHANS is conducting an
unique Annual CME Program in Neurology, entitled “Annual Reviews in
Practical Neurology” (ARPrAN) since 2018. This program, a first of its
kind, will focus on three specialties of Neurology each year. In each
specialty there will be plenary lectures, dedicated symposia, hot
topics, video and imaging sessions, case discussions, and quiz for
neurology residents. The primary aim of the program is to offer
comprehensive reviews to the participants in different subspecialties
of Neurology.
Last year; 3 subsections of Neurology (Stroke, Movement Disorders,
CNS Demyelination) were reviewed. This year, the reviews will
comprehensively focus on Cognition, Epilepsy & Neuromuscular
th th
Disorders. This program is scheduled from 16 - 18 of August 2019 at
NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru. The program will be an
intensive one, primarily for the residents in neurology and post
graduates in medicine and other relevant streams, and for young
neurologists and internists. The faculty members are experts in their
field. We cordially invite you to register early to attend this teaching
program. We are confident that it will be a great academic exercise.
