Autoimmune Encephalitis & Demyelinating Disorders

Training Overview

Autoimmune Encephalitis & Demyelinating Disorders is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy, clinical reasoning, and management skills of neurologists treating immune-mediated neurological diseases. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with hands-on simulation and case-based learning, focusing on early recognition, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment strategies.

The course covers comprehensive sessions on autoimmune encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, and related demyelinating conditions, emphasizing clinical red flags, neuroimaging patterns, cerebrospinal fluid interpretation, and antibody testing. Participants gain hands-on experience in realistic simulation labs replicating acute neurology and inpatient workflows, focusing on diagnostic precision and timely intervention.

Through interactive simulation workshops, attendees perform step-by-step neurological assessments, diagnostic decision-making, and treatment planning under the supervision of expert neurologists and international faculty. Dedicated sessions on MRI interpretation, EEG findings, immunotherapy selection, and treatment monitoring ensure a complete and practical learning experience.

In addition to clinical training, the program features expert-led discussions on multidisciplinary care, long-term disease management, and patient-centered treatment strategies. Attendees will also participate in case-based discussions addressing real-world diagnostic challenges, atypical presentations, and complication management.

By the end of the program, participants will have strengthened both their diagnostic confidence and clinical competence in managing autoimmune and demyelinating neurological disorders, while expanding their professional network within a global neurology community.
