This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint sponsorship of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers. The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society designates this educational activity for a maximum of 7.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Educational objectives
- interpret EEG records more accurately
- more effectively diagnose and treat epilepsy
- be aware of recent developments in epilepsy research
EDUCATIONAL MISSION STATEMENT
The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers are committed to providing continuing medical education to their members and to others interested in clinical neurophysiology. Educational objectives include:
1) Reviewing current knowledge of electroencephalography, epilepsy, evoked potentials, quantitative neurophysiological methods (including MEG and EEG/fMRI), sleep technology, and related areas;
2) Informing course and meeting attendees of recent technological developments and their implications for clinical practice.
The educational activity of the Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers consists of an Annual Meeting, including a technical course with didactic lectures or a thematic symposium, and presentation of scientific papers.
The educational activities of the Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers are directed to clinical neurophysiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, electroneuro- diagnostic technologists, trainees in these disciplines, and other physicians and researchers who utilize clinical neurophysiological techniques and knowledge in the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of the nervous system.
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION POLICY ON FULL DISCLOSURE
The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society requires disclosure of the existence of any significant financial interest or other relationship a presenter has with the manufacturer(s) of and commercial product(s) discussed in an educational presentation. The existence of such relationships does not necessarily constitute a conflict of interest, but the prospective audience must be informed of the presenter's affiliation with a commercial sponsor by way of an acknowledgement in this printed Program Book, or, if necessary, in later registration materials. This policy is intended to openly identify any potential conflict, so that the audience in an educational activity is able to form their own judgements about the presentation. Financial disclosures are listed in the program or meeting registration materials. Unless noted, presenters have submitted financial disclosure statements.
None of the speakers at the present meeting has significant financial interests or relationships that would constitute a conflict of interest.
