Stanford Facial Nerve Symposium AUGUST 3, 2019
Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge Stanford, CA
COURSE OVERVIEWSTATEMENT OF NEEDFacial paralysis affects thousands of children and adults each year and can have a significant impact on patient quality of life. This CME symposium seeks to increase knowledge about the options for treatment for facial paralysis by using a broad, multidisciplinary approach to describe the role of surgical reanimation, rehabilitation, mental health, ophthalmology, neurodiagnostic assessment, and skull base surgery in the care of patients with facial paralysis. Faculty experts will review current evidence-based practices, incorporate case-based discussions to facilitate discussion on the optimal surgical and nonsurgical options for patients with facial paralysis, as well as present best practices for developing and utilizing a multidisciplinary care team to optimize health outcomes.
TARGET AUDIENCEThis regional program is designed for physicians and allied health professionals specializing in neurology, otology, facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech pathology.
LEARNING OBJECTIVESAt the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:• Recognize the benefits and limitations of surgical reanimation
strategies that report high success rates• Utilize the referral system for patients who would benefit
from services available at tertiary care centers, including electrodiagnostic testing and physical therapy/rehabilitation
• Assess the knowledge and experience of rehabilitation specialists with facial rehabilitation, and provide treatment algorithms based on best available evidence
• Incorporate clinical “pearls” for the history, physical exam, and radiographic findings that may help guide treatment for these patients
• Identify medical practitioners in their local medical community who could join the multidisciplinary care team to assist with the care of facial paralysis patients
