The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Neurological Disorders & Stroke Institute (NINDS) Through the Clinical Neuroscienc The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Neurological Disorders & Stroke Institute (NINDS) through the Clinical Neurosciences Program, will be coordinating a virtual event Friday, September 10th 2021 (at 2PM EST), with the goal of promoting our fellowship programs to prospective residents and medical students, who may be interested in applying. One of the main goals of this event is to reach out to groups that have been underrepresented in neurology research and who may not be aware of our program’s diverse training opportunities which include: epilepsy; surgical neurology; neuroimmunology; neurovirology; neurogenetics; movement disorders; stroke and trauma; neurorehabilitation; neuro-oncology; neuromuscular disorders; motor neuron disease; cognitive neuroscience; neurocardiology and autonomic disorders; neuroradiology; clinical neurophysiology; clinical trials methodology. ACGME accredited programs include clinical neurophysiology, stroke, and epilepsy. Our fellowship programs allow physicians who have finished neurology residency training to obtain expertise in aspects of disease-oriented research including research on the etiology of disease and the design and conduct of clinical trials. Please join us for this special opportunity, as NINDS program directors will speak about the diverse scope of resources that are available for trainees to develop the specific training experiences needed for their career goals. Attendees will be invited to attend a separate career day symposium to obtain more information and discuss with individual program directors. You are invited to a ZoomGov meeting. When: Sep 10, 2021 02:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Register in advance for this meeting: https://nih.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIscOCurjovGINioo9ak75mykV6ik7WQNw .

Here, we describe combining these case studies as assessment, where iterative writing instructional methods to use student-created case studies improved student performance, and students reported as assessment for an online neurovirology module in a increased knowledge and confidence in the corresponding neuroanatomy and physiology course. First, students learning objectives. Overall, we believe that using student- learned about neurovirology in a flipped classroom format created case studies as assessment is a valuable, student- using free, open-access virology resources.

  • Journal of Neuroimmunology
    JOURNAL OF NEUROIMMUNOLOGY AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.1 • Impact Factor p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.3 ISSN: 0165-5728 DESCRIPTION . The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication. Works pertaining to multiple sclerosis, AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain Barré Syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and brain tumors form a major focus. The scope of the Journal is broad, covering both research and clinical problems of neuroscientific interest. A major aim of the Journal is to encourage the development of immunologic approaches to analyse in further depth the interactions and specific properties of nervous tissue elements during development and disease.

  • 2021 Psychiatry CC-MOC Content Specifications
    CONTINUING CERTIFICATION/MOC EXAMINATION IN PSYCHIATRY The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. (ABPN) has issued new, two- dimensional content specifications for the psychiatry, neurology and child neurology continuing certification/MOC examinations. Questions for the 2021 psychiatry, neurology and child neurology continuing certification examinations will conform to these new content specifications. Within the two-dimensional format, one dimension is comprised of disorders and topics while the other is comprised of competencies and mechanisms that cut across the various disorders of the first dimension. By design, the two dimensions are interrelated and not independent of each other. All of the questions on the examination will fall into one of the disorders/topics and will be aligned with a competency/mechanism. For example, an item on substance use could focus on treatment, or it could focus on systems-based practice. The psychiatry, neurology and child neurology continuing certification content specifications can be accessed from the Specialty MOC Exams section of our website. Candidates should use the new detailed content specifications as a guide to prepare for a continuing certification examination. Scores for these examinations will be reported in a standardized format rather than the previous percent correct format. In addition to these three continuing certification examinations, ABPN examinations will gradually conform to the new two-dimensional content specification starting in 2018. The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to serving the public interest and the professions of psychiatry and neurology by promoting excellence in practice through certification and continuing certification processes. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.abpn.com .
