Session Descriptions |
||
| Courses – Courses are 3.5-hour sessions with a Chair and 4 or 5 speakers. Courses are offered Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and Thursday. Faculty will need to provide manuscripts for these sessions. |
||
| Symposia – Symposia are a new offering at the AANEM meetings. These sessions are 1.75 hours in length and are held opposite the Courses. These sessions focus on the cutting edge of neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and electrodiagnostic medicine as it relates to disorders of muscle and nerve. Faculty will not need to provide manuscripts. The moderator participates as a faculty member and 1 or 2 other faculty members may be invited to speak. |
||
| Seminars – Seminars are limited to 90 attendees where audience participation is strongly encouraged. These are 2.25-hour sessions and take place Wednesday morning from 9:45 AM- 12:00 NN. Typically there are 2 to 3 speakers and faculty will not need to provide manuscripts. The moderator participates as a faculty member and 1 or 2 other faculty members may be invited to speak. |
||
| Workshops – Workshops provide hands-on training to a very small group of 8 to 10 attendees – no audio visual equipment is allowed. They are offered Wednesday morning and afternoon. Only 1 faculty person is allowed. Handouts are required if the topic is new to the AANEM meeting. Click here to make a recommendation for workshop faculty. |
||
| Experts’ Roundtables – Experts' Roundtables are small informal meetings for 20 attendees where an expert in the field has an open dialogue with the attendees on a topic. No audio visual equipment is allowed and faculty will not need to provide handouts. These sessions are held on Friday and Saturday morning. |
||
Special Interest Group Sessions – There are individuals with special interest and/or expertise who would like to meet in less formal groups for roundtable discussions, case presentations, free communications, didactic presentations, evaluation and demonstrations of new equipment and techniques, and organizational planning. The AANEM is committed to providing such an opportunity for these groups in order to encourage them to continue participating as a vital force within the association. The value of the special interest groups (SIGs) has been proven by the interest that the members have had in them so far, and the AANEM considers the members to be a valuable resource to the association and its various committees. These sessions are held Saturday morning and afternoon. To submit a proposal for a Special Interest Group click here. |

Proposal Guidelines |
||
| 1. The information provided in any of the educational sessions should
be on medically accepted topics and should, if possible, integrate science
and clinical aspects. |
||
| 2. The information provided should relate to topics that meet the educational needs of physicians interested in disorders of the muscle, skeletal, and nervous systems. | ||
| 3. The educational objectives must be clearly stated and written to emphasize what knowledge or skill the attendees will gain from attending the session. | ||
| 4. The target audience must be clearly stated – for example physicians, PhDs, nonphysicians, basic, advanced, etc. | ||
| 5. The description of your proposed educational event is extremely important. The appropriate AANEM committee will be reviewing your description along with the objectives when determining whether or not to accept your proposal. | ||
| 6. Suggested faculty who have never participated in AANEM meeting may be requested to supply references. Committee members may contact the references in order to discuss the individual’s ability to participate as faculty. | ||
