This comprehensive one-day continuing medical education program in neuromodulation features an outstanding faculty from the Departments of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Anesthesia at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The purpose of the course is to provide an update on the latest multidisciplinary management and application of medical devices for an array of neurologic diagnoses, including movement disorders, epilepsy, chronic pain, and head and facial pain. There will be specific emphasis on new and emerging treatment options, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), responsive neurostimulation, emerging neurotechnologies, and therapies on the horizon. Alternative treatments, including first-line medical management, botulinum toxin therapy, and adjunctive therapies will also be discussed. The course will focus on personalizing therapy, both with respect to patient selection and targeting therapy. To integrate and ensure audience participation, patient testimonials will take place throughout the day. Attendees are encouraged to bring in their own cases for discussion.
Target Audience
Neurosurgeons (functional and general), neurologists (general, movement disorder, and epilepsy), psychiatrists, psychologists, pain management physicians, primary care physicians, allied-health professionals, and neurosurgery, neurology, and psychiatry residents and fellows

The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
The FDA has issued a concept paper which classifies commercial support of scientific and educational programs as promotional unless it can be affirmed that the program is "truly independent" and free of commercial influence. In addition to independence, the FDA requires that nonpromotional, commercially supported education be objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous. The policy further states that all potential conflicts of interest of the CME staff and faculty be fully disclosed to the program's participants. In addition, Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education policy now mandates that the provider adequately manages all identified potential conflicts of interest prior to the program. We at UCLA fully endorse the letter and spirit of these concepts.
