Movement Disorders Review 2022: A Live Interactive CME Course Series with Patient Videos
10 Locations | 6 CME Hours
This education will be created and presented by several top-tier thought leaders on Movement Disorders. The content will be video based, highly interactive, and presented to a live audience in 10 strategic venues across the U.S. The materials will be available online as well, offering 6 hours of continuing medical education. The educational program will prepare healthcare professionals for clinical dialogue, to verbalize the science, to discuss the impact, to form complete treatment plans, and to raise disease awareness, and quality care access in under-served communities. The education will feature Movement Disorder patient videos as a basis to formulate patient-centered decision-making strategies. Additional educational tools will include education on adherence and treatment options. Also, a communication guide for smart devices, an application platform for tracking & self-care, a specialist finder, measured branch logic outcomes, and social media & survey interaction.
Need
Movement disorders in patients with neurological disorders is becoming more recognized by health care providers (HCPs). However, our assessment reveals gaps in providing care for movement disorders. Below are the gaps we have identified:
Gap 1: Most neurologists practice general neurology and lack sub-specialization training in movement disorders.
Gap 2: Attending a movement disorders national and international meeting is not easy or feasible for many healthcare providers.
Gap 3: Most educational programs are primarily didactic materials, and there is a need for an interactive video educational program where the attendees can learn through actual patients and discuss their own cases.
Gap 4: Providing this program in underserved cities and communities, as well as providing virtual options is needed.
Gap 5: Many HCPs do not have access to conferences, teaching courses, publications, journals, and libraries. Movement Disorders continue to be misunderstood with the lack of proper clinical assessment.
Gap 6: The number of new therapies is growing, and HCPs are putting their patients at risk if they are not familiar with the new therapies and treatment modalities.
Gap 7: Movement disorders education varies significantly across the in the United States. Lack of enough resources limits the access to the newer and safer therapies and multidisciplinary approaches.
With recent advances in neuroscience, neurology is changing, especially in the treatment and management of movement disorders. It is difficult for the neurologist and HCPs to keep up with the recent changes. This challenge is more pronounced in the field of movement disorders than in other sub-specialties.
The cut-off of the HCPs from the new advancements in movement disorders deprives the patients from access and from safer and more effective therapies.
HCPs are extremely busy in their practice, and it is hard to find time for education on new advancements in movement disorders. Due to the logistics and geographical barriers, access to the national and international meetings is not realistic for most HCPs. In surveys conducted, attendees feel the pure didactic is not beneficial. Per their feedback, most would welcome and benefit from video sessions. This program will include faculty participation by national thought leaders, and regional experts from the local area of the geographic-specific programs. We as educators find that the learner highly benefits from patient videos and video experiences are essential teaching tools. The teaching videos will refresh their knowledge about the diagnoses, and the participant will be able to correlate the proper cases with the role of the therapies and the therapeutic modalities. In addition, the videos will discuss the efficacy and, in some cases, the side effect profile of the new therapies.
Financing travel to meetings, closing practice, and course costs can be a significant barrier to movement disorder education. Therefore, providing a free, live educational course with a virtual option is needed to educate HCPs in movement disorders.
Most movement disorder educational series consists of specific lectures with limited interaction. Therefore, providing an educational series by inviting the attendees to submit their own patient videos along with thought-leader videos is a unique way to teach HCPs.
We are developing a series of ten, CME courses to address these gaps. In these courses, we will use multiple videos to simulate the academic practice at a movement disorder clinic where the audience will learn from each video case. In addition, recorded sessions will be available to virtually earn CME credit.
We plan to continue these courses annually, and in the future, we plan to hold a parallel patient session to bring HCPs and patients to the symposium together.
Instructional Methods
The live and enduring materials will feature a variety of instructional methods. These include lectures based from patient videos and the latest scientific information. Lectures will involve three national thought leaders and three regional thought leaders who will interact with each other and with the participants. Participants will be welcomed and invited to introduce pre-approved case studies and videos as well.
