ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2018

We invite authors to submit abstracts to advance the knowledge, skills, and competence of physicians in the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and management of neuromuscular diseases. Cases will be discussed with the goal of identifying the diagnosis during the live presentation, as part of the learning activity. As such, we request that final diagnosis be omitted from the title and body of the abstract.

Per the ACCME Standards of Commercial Support, employees of commercial supporters (i.e. pharmaceutical and/or medical device companies) are restricted from influencing the control of CME program content. As such, employees of commercial interests may not participate in authoring, co-authoring and/or presenting content that is certified for CME.
