The 10th Annual Symposium, Current Techniques in the Treatment of

Cranial and Spinal Disorders, is facilitated by Boulder Neurosurgical

& Spine Associates (BNA) and the Justin Parker Neurological Institute

(JPNI). This live educational activity offers a series of innovative presen-

tations regarding the latest advancements and treatment considerations

in cranial, orthopedic and neurosurgical spine technology. After careful

consideration and identification of the most significant subject matter,

we are pleased to offer topics including: stem cells in neurosurgery,

acute stroke management, case studies in neuroethics, management

of sports concussions, spinal injection complications, intracerebral

and spinal hematomas, and coiling versus clipping of brain aneurysms.

JPNI is a fully accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose

principle purpose is to conduct clinical research and improve

clinical outcomes. The mission of JPNI is to advance scientific discov-

eries and innovative medical technologies into clinical practice by

conducting clinical trials in order to implement best practices and

disseminate to the medical community. JPNI also provides fellowship

and internship opportunities to neurosurgical and orthopedic spine

surgeons and students pursuing careers in medicine.

implementing best practices through innovative medical technologies and evidence-based medicine

AND kEyNOTE SPEAkER

nicholas Boulis, mD

Dr. Nicholas Boulis is a physician scientist

whose research interests include biological

neurorestoration and neuromodulation

through the use of cell, protein and gene

delivery to the nervous system. As an

Associate Professor at the Emory School

of Medicine and a practicing neuro-

surgical doctor at Emory healthcare, Dr. Boulis leads a Gene

and Cell Therapy Translational Laboratory which pursues

advanced biological treatments for neurological disorders,

including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as

Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). With

proof-of-principle in the laboratory and Dr. Boulis’ expertise in

neurosurgery, the laboratory creates a unique resource for the

development and clinical translation of these concepts.

Course DescriptionThis live educational activity will review and provide updates on the latest advances in the treatment of cranial and spinal neurosurgical and orthopedic spine clinical issues. Each of the four sessions will provide an intensive, practical review from a panel of experts in the field – with emphasis on evidence-based approaches in the fields of neurosurgery and orthopedic spine technology.

learning objectivesUpon completion of this live activity, participants should be able to:1. Discuss the issues and basic recommendations

specific to clinical practice in order to improve clinical management of cranial and spinal disorders.

2. Apply an extended understanding of multi- disciplinary care in treating patients with movement disorders.

3. Describe a number of new treatments and innovative technologies that are available for the management of cranial and spinal disorders.

Audience Response SystemNew this year! In order to further promote the educational and interactive environment of our symposium, we will be using an audience response system (ARS) during each of the presentations. Each speaker will pose five multiple choice questions during or at the end of their presentation. Each audience member will have a clicker to respond to the question posed and we will poll the audience’s response in real-time and present the results immediately after. The real-time polling will allow for further discussion of the topics and will encourage a stronger interaction between the speakers and attendees.
