The Marcus Neuroscience Institute Brain and Spine Symposium is a two-day academic event designed to assist attendees in expanding their knowledge of the latest advances in the field of neuroscience through didactic lectures, interactive panel discussions and case-based presentations.

The expert faculty will discuss the latest evidence-based practices in the care of brain and spine surgeries, interventional pain management, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, epilepsy, and many more topics in the neurosciences.

This year’s session will focus on exploring the latest clinical innovations and collaborative approaches that are transforming care for brain and spine patients. The MNI Brain and Spine Symposium brings together a multidisciplinary audience—including primary care providers, nurses, neurosurgeons, spine specialists, and allied health professionals—to discuss the most current research and best practices in the field. This symposium emphasizes clinical excellence through evidence-based practices, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the integration of innovative technologies. Attendees will gain practical insights and actionable strategies designed to enhance patient outcomes across the continuum of care, with a focus on current research and best practices to guide effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for complex brain and spine disorders.
