Neurodiagnostic Technology Continuing Education: ASET Annual Conference Program New Orleans: Installment #1

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!  We have an electronic version on our website that you may view using this link: 2018 ASET Conference Brochure

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.
