Neuro ICU Symposium 2015

The 3rd Annual Neuro ICU Symposium is being held March 4-6, 2015, at the JW Marriott, in Houston, Texas.

The Neuro ICU Symposium, sponsored by the University of Texas Medical School/Mischer Neuroscience Institute, is a three-day course designed to educate physicians and other healthcare professionals on how to optimally manage patients using a team approach. Emphasis will be placed on treating patients early, starting in the emergency room. The course starts off with a one-day comprehensive neurocritical care board examination review. Each day features interactive sessions including handson workshops for continuous EEG, invasive multimodality brain monitoring and advanced hemodynamic monitoring. New for this year is Billing 101 and 102 and how to build a physician-nurse team. Attendees can participate in Critical Care Jeopardy (with prizes) and debate sessions for controversial topics in neurocritical care.

The Mischer Neuroscience Institute is built on a foundation of long-term collaboration between Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) Medical School. The Institute brings together a team of world-class clinicians, researchers and educators whose insights and research findings are transforming the field of neuroscience.
