March 6 - 8, 2025 - Mayo Clinic Florida - Jacksonville, Florida
With both a neurosurgery track and a neurology track, this course is designed as a review of targeting, programming, surgical approaches, and operative techniques pertaining to surgical treatment of epilepsy, facial pain, and movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia. The course offers a cadaver workshop as well as augmented reality and advanced programming workshops. The course is designed for neurosurgeons, pain specialists, neurologists, radiologists, physician assistants, residents, fellows, and mid-level providers interested in movement disorders, to provide a global approach to the movement disorder patients.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION - Due Friday February 7, 2025
As part of the Mayo Clinic: Rhoton-de Oliveira Treatment Advances in Neurology and Functional Neurosurgery for Movement Disorders, Epilepsy & Headache 2025 conference, all trainees involved in neurosurgery and neurology are invited to submit an abstract for presentation of original research dedicated to the field of functional neurosurgery, movement disorders, epilepsy, and headache. Accepted abstract submissions will present their research at the dinner on Friday March 7, 2025. To submit an abstract for consideration, please CLICK HERE.
For questions, please contact Karen Steele.
Target Audience
Neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiologists and NPs, PAs, nurses, and residents/fellows in the fields of neurosurgery and neurology
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Determine the appropriate microsurgical techniques for treatment of complex epilepsy
