Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center–McNair Campus Course Director: Aziz Shaibani, MD, FACP, FAAN, FANA 5 th Annual Neuromuscular Disorders Seminar Advances in Neuromuscular Care and Regulations Overview At least half of all cases of neurological disease are categorized as neuromuscular disorders, which are responsible for common symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, numbness, dizziness, loss of balance, and blurred vision. These disorders impose constant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to practicing and academic neurologists alike. Several new medications were approved for neuromuscular disorders over the last two years, and new genetic testing panels and diagnostic methods have reached commercial use. Also, the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) created new regulations for the practice of neurology, which create additional challenges. This seminar is designed especially for the busy neurologist who desires to remain current on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders.
