2025 IONM Course Scheduled for April 29th – May 1st
Knowledge + skill through professional development
Many neurological disorders have proven remarkably responsive to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and other forms of neuromodulation. An urgent need exists among patients, family members and caregivers for physicians and professionals who are trained in surgical and nonsurgical approaches to care. Worldwide demand is surging for skilled medical management teams capable of efficiently managing pharmaceutical, emergent and second opinions related to DBS care.
