NAF’s Ataxia Clinical Training (ACT) program will debut in Orlando, FL on March 18, 2022. There are 35-40 slots available for this training opportunity. The primary objective of this training session is to acquire practical knowledge about the diagnostic investigation and treatment of the Ataxias through a series of didactic talks by clinicians who have significant experience in this area. The attendees will also be introduced to ongoing research in the field of Ataxia and will have the ability to personally interact with patients and families affected by a wide-spectrum of Ataxic disorders. The ACT will include topics on diagnostic approach to Ataxias, heredodegenerative and Acquired Ataxias, neurogenetics of Ataxias, treatment of Ataxia, and research on Ataxia.
Selected Fellows will have the ability to interact with Ataxia experts, many of whom are reputable clinicians and scientists, and explore opportunities for specializing in this field which has a need for new talent and ideas given we are ushering in an era of cutting-edge molecular, biopharmaceutical and bioengineering tools which hold significant promise for the cure of neurodegenerative disorders. The highlight of the ACT will be in-person interactions between fellows and patients affected by a wide-spectrum of Ataxic disorders. Very few conferences offer the opportunity to bolster didactic knowledge with clinical experience making this course unique in its training scope.
Selected attendees will arrive on March 17 and depart by March 19. Travel support will be provided by NAF and its sponsors. The finalized agenda for the meeting will be distributed to attendees who are committed to attending.
We invite movement disorders fellows to participate in this program and gain clinical and scientific knowledge to effectively treat patients and families affected by Ataxia.
