Program Description

The MDS-AS African Multicenter Movement Disorder Grand Rounds aims to provide education in the field of movement disorders and a live forum for African participants to discuss regionally-specific movement disorder cases on related session topics. 

This course consists of 3-independent sessions organized throughout the year in collaboration by multiple centers across the African region including: Department of Neurology – Ain Shams University (Cairo, Egypt), Stellenbosch University (Capetown, South Africa) and Mongi Ben Hamida National Institute of Neurology – Tunis El Manar University (Tunis, Tunisia). This course covers fundamental movement disorder topics taught by internationally renowned movement disorder experts.

Each session is two hours long and features a focused lecture presented by the guest lecturer followed by a live Question & Answer Session and a 60-minute Interactive Grand Round Session with cases presented for expert discussion with the guest lecturer and participants. Cases from the organizing centers and participants will be featured. Case presenters may elect to incorporate live poling into their presentations for added interactivity. 

Enrolled learners will also have the opportunity to submit questions/cases to faculty for expert commentary via the Ask the Expert Feature for up to 1 week after the live session. The submitted questions and faculty reply will be posted to a private course discussion board for all participant viewing. This is the fourth year of this course.
