Neurosciences and Spine Symposium

May 9, 2026

The Neurosciences and Spine Symposium is a free one-day, case-based program designed for primary care and general practitioners to build confidence in managing common neuro/spine-related presentations. Through rapid cases, multidisciplinary panels, and focused debates led by experts in spine surgery, cranial surgery, stroke, neurology, sleep, PM&R and interventional pain, attendees will learn about red flags, evidence-based care guidelines and decision frameworks they can apply immediately.

The emphasis is on big-picture clinical reasoning - clarifying when to observe, when to investigate, and how to prioritize next steps - so attendees leave with clearer mental models, reduced uncertainty and stronger alignment across care teams.
