Building on the success of the International Neuromodulation Society’s (INS) inaugural, 10-part CME webinar series, the INS will be launching a new series of educational webinars in 2021 to:
• keep neuromodulators abreast of the latest therapies and best clinical practices;
• sustain growth in the field of neuromodulation; and
• provide a home for our global community until we can meet in person again.
In March 2021 through early 2022, the INS will host at least 10 monthly CME webinars for both members and non-members alike, with the aim of providing education on the mechanisms of action of the full spectrum of neuromodulation therapies, as well as guidance on patient safety, patient selection, and device selection to optimize treatment outcomes and reduce adverse events – all of which are of paramount importance in the field of neuromodulation. This session, which will focus on radiation safety, is providing an opportunity for the global neuromodulation community to connect virtually and earn CME credit when they cannot meet in person.
As interventional pain procedures become more complex, radiation exposure often increases. A recent international survey defined the current level of radiation knowledge and compliance with dose reduction strategies. Recommendations to improve education and safety will be provided based on this data.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This certified CME activity is designed to provide a learning opportunity for the membership of the INS, as well as non-members, including clinicians, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation.
The INS consists of over 3,100 members worldwide; of the 70% of members who have reported their specialties, 16% consists of neurological surgeons, and 4.7% of neurologists.
