The SCNA Annual Meeting is a two-day live CME activity designed to provide neurologists, neurology trainees, advanced practice providers, and other allied health professionals with up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge in the field of neurology. This regional educational event features expert-led lectures, hands-on workshops, and case-based discussions focused on current clinical challenges, diagnostic updates, and treatment advances across a broad spectrum of neurologic conditions. Topics will include advances in neuroimmunology, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disorders, neurocritical care, and headache/spasticity management. Additional content will address emerging therapies, biomarker-based diagnostics, and the evolving business and practice landscape of neurology. Interactive elements such as a resident “Neurobowl,” professor-led poster sessions, and procedural workshops (e.g., botulinum toxin for neurologic indications) provide practical, applicable learning and skill enhancement opportunities. Attendees will also have opportunities to network with peers and industry partners through sponsored exhibits and networking sessions. This activity is designed to close knowledge and competence gaps identified in clinical practice and supports SCNA’s mission to promote education, research, and quality neurological care in South Carolina.
