I have been working on the ASET 2018 annual conference
program since January of this year and I was so very excited when the full
program came together! I now have confirmed all sessions and it looks like a
lot of fun and a great learning experience!
I also want to thank those of you
who submitted abstract applications! These
are a great addition to the program, with a lot of variety in the 20 platform
presentations and 18 poster presentations!
I will be highlighting various sessions in the next few blog
entries, to share my excitement and build interest in signing up for this
conference. Our registration brochure is
going to print will be in the mail to you soon!

I would like to start by introducing our Keynote Speaker,
Cynthia Christie, who is a professional speaker and consultant for team-building
in the health care industry. She
promises to bring us the most interactive plenary session ever, “Critical
Thinking for the Health Care Team: Accelerated Skill Building”! Everyone in the audience is invited to
participate in a unique challenge. She
uses a simulation situation to get small teams to solve a puzzle in three minutes. Then teams think through what they could do differently
to improve their skill as a team, and another round gives them the opportunity
to try another approach. This will be a
great way to start the day and get to know other attendees, and to get to know
yourself better as well.
Then, our Ellen Grass Lecturer is Dr. Aatif Husain, from
Duke University. Dr. Husain has been
active with the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society for years, and is a
past president of ACNS. He has also been
very active with ABRET. He is a strong
advocate of technologists, recognizing their high level of skill and their
contributions to neurophysiology. Dr.
Husain’s presentation, “Clinical Neurophysiology in the Treatment of Disease” will
be a fascinating overview of ways in which neurodiagnostic modalities will be
used in new ways in the future. Dr.
Husain has extensive knowledge and experience with many areas of
Neurodiagnostics, from EEG to Long Term Monitoring, clinical Evoked Potentials
and Intraoperative Neuro Monitoring, and he will inspire us to look to the
future of our profession.
