Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to link the educational objectives to Core Competencies (Medical Knowledge) and:

  • Improve clinical updates in diagnosis and practice management in unusual neuromuscular cases.
  • Describe recent advances in basic and clinical research on neuromuscular disorders.
  • Identify characteristic findings on muscle biopsies and EDX studies on neuromuscular disorders.
  • Implement treatment based neuromuscular histopathology and genetics.
