2010 Schedule

Thursday, April 8th – Who doesn’t love a good mystery with their dinner? During our Sundown Seminar, you can dine over delicious food while Bobby Taskey helps you uncover the clues to reveal the true meaning behind those tricky EEG patterns.

Friday, April 9th — We will split up into three groups to explore various areas of neurophysiology. The first section will concentrate on Board Preparation and basic skills. This is a great course for newer technologists and for those who want to refresh their knowledge. We have a variety of highly qualified and enthusiastic speakers to cover this broad category. The second section will address Intraoperative Monitoring, with experienced and knowledgeable speakers on a variety of current topics and need-to-know information for today’s IOM technologist. Finally, course III will offer a broader, more diverse curriculum of Advanced Topics for those interested in exploring more in-depth areas of our field.

Saturday, April 10th - We will finish up with a Scientific Session. Last year we established a Lewis Kull Memorial Lecture as part of our Saturday morning schedule, and this year we have invited EEG educator Larry Head to speak on Educating in the Workforce. A representative from ASET will also do a presentation on Educational Opportunities Available Online. We will also be announcing the winner of the 2011 Lewis Kull Scholarship! Only present attendees will be able to accept the scholarship, so we better see everyone there!
