Overview

The Michael J. Bresnan Continuing Education Course in Child Neurology is an intensive, comprehensive review of new developments in child neurology, ranging from basic neuroscience to the latest evidence from clinical trials and studies and expert practice guidance for the primary and specialty care of children with neurological disorders. The faculty of the Department of Neurology at Boston Children’s Hospital serves as the core faculty for this course.

For more than three decades, the Bresnan Course has met the varied learning needs of both child neurology specialists and others from related disciplines and professions. We offer a wide array of content organized into thematic packages so participants can choose the most relevant sessions for their practice.

Course Format
In response to feedback from previous years’ evaluations, we have decided to keep this course virtual since this format has received high ratings.

Bresnan 1: Fundamentals of Child Neurology (7.75 credit hours) 

Bresnan 2: Child Neurology in Clinical Practice (8.5 credit hours) 

Bresnan 3: Pediatric Epilepsy, Neurophysiology, and Sleep (7.75 credit hours) 

Bresnan 4: Leading-Edge Specialty Topics in Child Neurology (7.0 credit hours) 

Special Clinical Practice Workshop (4.5 credit hours)  
Join experts from the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Neurology including our community-based satellite clinics for a deeper dive into the neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions most commonly encountered in primary care and other non-neurology settings: ADHD, headache/concussion, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delays. Through a highly interactive series of case-based workshops and provision of a suite of resources, participants will increase their ability to care for children with these conditions within the medical home and to coordinate care effectively with specialists.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to: 

1. Identify and implement best practices in the care of children with neurological disorders in both primary and specialty care settings
2. Incorporate recent advances in neuroscience, therapeutics, and practice guidelines into clinical care
3. Enhance participants’ ability to deliver high quality patient/family-centered care that incorporates perspectives including health equity, global neurology, and the psychosocial and educational impacts of neurological disease
