“This is a unique event of its kind for stroke in our area,” said Conference Director Pierre Fayad, M.D., who serves as the Reynolds Centennial Professor and chairman of UNMC’s department of neurological sciences.<\/p>\n

The multidisciplinary conference, titled “Acute Stroke Management: Present Challenges and Future Hopes,” is designed for physicians; nurses; physician assistants; nurse practitioners; clinical nurse specialists; pharmacists; physical, occupational and speech therapists; and emergency medical technicians.<\/p>\n

The conference is divided into two parts: the morning involves a plenary session, in which the speakers are visiting faculty with national reputations in their field. Visiting faculty members are from the University of Colorado Health Science Center, the University of Pittsburgh Health System and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. <\/p>\n

The afternoon is dedicated to six workshops in which some of the visiting faculty will interact with local health care professionals to address local issues.<\/p>\n

The conference fee is $95 for physicians, $75 for other professionals and $35 for emergency medical technicians and medical residents. The fee includes breakfast, lunch, handout materials and the scientific sessions.<\/p>\n
