7th Continuous Medical Education Seminar "Lecture" and "Hands-on"

The 7th Continuous Medical Education (CME) Seminar on neurology, lectures and hands-on, is planned during the memorial 51st Annual Congress of Japanese Neurological Society (Chairman Professor Shoji Tsuji) in Tokyo.

This is the 7th CME by the Japanese Neurological Society. We are expecting many members to attend the CME program. The program includes 4 updated educational lectures on and 5 practical Hands-on courses and 1 video seminar on May 19th (Wednesday).
"Advanced knowledge in neurological practice" is the theme of CME this year, and we are hoping the program offers the update of clinical neurology and techniques for clinical study and treatment. In addition to the board certified neurology specialists we also invite other attendants who are interested in the program or the members who are planning to apply for the board certified neurologist.

CME credit of 7 points is given to those attending 4 lectures, and 3 points is given to those attending Hands-on. We are hoping many members of the Society will attend the CME program.
