ForwardMayo Clinic Electromyography (EMG), Neuromuscular Ultrasound (NMUS), and Electroencephalography (EEG) in Clinical Practice 2027
This course offers Live (in-person) and Livestream (virtual) attendance options
Course Directors: Devon Rubin, M.D., and David Burkholder, M.D.
February 16 - 21, 2027 - Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, FL
This course provides a comprehensive update on contemporary techniques and clinical applications in electromyography (EMG), neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS), and electroencephalography (EEG) for the evaluation and diagnosis of neurologic disorders. Core content areas include nerve conduction study methodology and interpretation; needle EMG technique and waveform analysis; neuromuscular ultrasound of peripheral nerves, muscle, and respiratory structures; and interpretation of normal and abnormal EEG findings.
The curriculum emphasizes practical application, including recognition of technical limitations and common interpretive pitfalls, and integration of neurophysiologic data into clinical decision-making for patients with peripheral nerve and neuromuscular disorders, epilepsy, and other central nervous system conditions. Didactic sessions are reinforced through structured live demonstrations and hands-on learning experiences in nerve conduction studies, needle EMG, neuromuscular ultrasound, and EEG interpretation to enhance skill acquisition and clinical competence.

Target Audience
This course is intended for neurologists, physiatrists, neurophysiology technologists, APPs, and physicians specializing in and practicing clinical applications in electromyography (EMG), neuromuscular ultrasound (NMUS), and electroencephalography (EEG).
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply advanced techniques in nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography, including uncommon studies and waveform analysis, into clinical practice.
- Integrate neuromuscular ultrasound into electrodiagnostic practice to enhance diagnostic accuracy and procedural guidance.
- Interpret complex electrodiagnostic findings across a range of neuromuscular disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, and motor neuron diseases.
- Recognize technical pitfalls and artifacts in EMG, nerve conduction studies, and EEG, and implement strategies to minimize diagnostic error.
- Analyze and interpret EEG recordings across clinical contexts, including epilepsy, encephalopathy, and critical care, incorporating quantitative and long-term monitoring approaches.
Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
