Recorded Elective: Metabolic Causes of Stroke
RECORDED ELECTIVE: METABOLIC CAUSES OF STROKE
Release date: 1/1/2022
Focus on diseases like organic acidemias, homocysteinemias, Fabry disease
The videos below are an online replica of the classical training experience so common in teaching hospitals… shadowing a specialist as s/he sees her/his patients in clinic. Each Metabolism Elective has a theme and includes short medical overviews of selected diseases coupled with brief videos of patients/caregivers who describe their experiences in living with those diseases.
This activity is intended for neurologists and neurology trainees, nurses/nurse practitioners, physician assistants, genetic counselors, and dietitians, and other clinicians and their trainees, engaged in the care of patients who present with stroke-like symptoms for reasons that are unclear.
FACULTY
- Mark Korson, MD
- Elizabeth Carter (patient-teacher)
OBJECTIVES
At the end of each training, attendees should be able to:
- Identify symptoms associated with “metabolic stroke”
- Discuss the physiology underlying the neurologic manifestations associated with the featured metabolic diseases.
- List the testing to be done that can raise or lower suspicions about the featured metabolic diagnoses, or to confirm the diagnosis.
- Employ current guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with metabolic causes of encephalopathy.
- Integrate follow-up care of the patient with a geneticist familiar with metabolic disease.
VMP's EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY
- The topics are relevant.
- The presentation is pitched appropriately for the audience.
- The format is clinical and practical.
- Where possible, the patient story is included in the program (live +/- recorded presentations).
- Teaching is interactive and includes engaging the audience throughout with questions and case reviews.
- Through a combination of didactic teaching and case workshops, attendees are given the opportunity to apply the principles they have learned to (adapted) real-life cases, empowering them to better tackle such medical challenges in their clinical practice
- Repeated learning over time is more likely to be associated with long-term retention of the material.
- All essential teaching slides are provided in a handout to attendees.
This activity was created by an independent educational grant from Recordati Rare Diseases.
