Neurology Specialty Night: Neurology's Future is Now!

Unprecedented research and technological progress during this past decade have vastly improved our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of many neurological diseases and injuries. We have witnessed innovations regarding some of the most elusive neurodegenerative conditions like dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Yet cost and access issues are imposing new limits on this limitless progress. This situation calls for primary care providers to increasingly see patients with less complex neurological conditions. Our presenters and panelists from Cooper, Jefferson, Temple and Penn will explore these topics.
