38th AnnuAl CoMPRehenSive Review of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation CouRSe DeSCRiPtion This intensive six-day and threeevening review course is designed to examine current practices with emphasis on recent advances in the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Ample time is provided for questions throughout the course. One-on-one registrant faculty practice oral examination workshops will be available for registrants on Tuesday or Thursday evening as well as a written questions workshop on Wednesday evening. There will be a hands-on workshop on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Management of Spasticity, talks on the Maintenance of Certification Process and Disability Ratings, and a Special One-day Electrodiagnosis Program on Saturday. tARget AuDienCe 1) Senior Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Resident physicians preparing for Part I (Written) of the Board Certification Examination 2) PM&R physicians in their first year of practice preparing for Part II (Oral) of the Board Certificate Examination 3) Practicing PM&R physicians seeking continuing medical education and a knowledge update 4) Practicing PM&R physicians preparing for their ABPM&R Maintenance of Certification Examination StAteMent of neeD An extensive needs assessment to identify professional practice gaps and educational needs of the learners was conducted by a comprehensive search of previous evaluations and outcomes measurement summaries, and AMA guidelines. It was determined that: • Electrodiagnosis is a highly technical skill and there is a lack of uniformity in how different practitioners execute it. Based on previous evaluations, there is still a need for more hands-on training with EMG, including examinations on Myopathies, Motor Neuron Disease and Radiculopathies. • Traumatic brain injury is still under recognized, and due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the incidence has increased because of better technology and equipment used by our armed forces. Separately, physiatry has expanded over the past decades to include an interest in musculoskeletal and sports medicine, including the sports related concussion. Clinicians need to be aware of diagnosis and management of cognitive, somatic, and emotional sequelae in concussed athletes. • It is now more common for physiatrists to handle spasticity management using either botulinum toxin injections or ITB pump refilling, as new data is published regarding the effectiveness of these treatments. Younger physiatrists were exposed to hands-on training with these treatment options during residency, but older clinicians were not, and need adequate hands-on training in order to properly and effectively manage their patients’ spasticity. • Physiatrists are becoming more established as the expert in the area of musculoskeletal disorders and are seeing more patients in need of treatment. There is a need for practicing physiatrists to focus on their diagnostic and treatment skills for this disorder, including understanding the importance of musculoskeletal ultrasound, including limitations and capabilities of using highresolution, real-time imaging of musculoskeletal features, for diagnostic and interventional procedures. • The AMA’s Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment Sixth Edition uses a new methodology to assess impairment and addresses past criticisms of the Guides including physician interrater and intrarater reliability, consistency between chapters, and an antiquated model of disablement. Additionally, evaluations from the last year’s program included requests on more information on impairment and disability rating scales and related management as this is an area in which some physiatrists are struggling.
eDuCAtionAl objeCtiveS At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to: • Based on expert direction and the literature, incorporate evidencebased techniques for performing electrodiagnostic tests. • Incorporate a diagnostic strategy for traumatic brain injury, based on awareness of high incidence. • Apply traditional physiatric care regarding traumatic brain injury for assessment and treatment of the concussed athlete. • Demonstrate correct injection and implanting techniques when geneRAl infoRMAtion loCAtion NYU Langone Medical Center Smilow Seminar Room 550 First Avenue (31st St.) New York, NY 10016 PHOTO IDENTIFICATION IS REQUIRED TO ENTER THE MEDICAL CENTER. online RegiStRAtion PRefeRReD Applications will be accepted in order of their receipt.
