Organized by
Join us for the first virtual AFM symposium!
Primary goal: A basic update on Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) focused on education and awareness of this emerging disorder for health care personnel, scientists, and families.
Audience: Health care providers, scientists, parents, and families. Although parents and families of AFM patients may join any of the symposia, symposia 4 and 5 will specifically focus on families and care of patients with AFM and is geared toward health care providers, pediatricians, neurologists, emergency and intensive care unit providers, therapists, nurses and physical and rehabilitation personnel.
