Education and Events
Neuroscience & Spine's skilled physicians and staff are here to help our community. Throughout the year we offer various professional development courses, conferences for advanced practice providers, and community education and training courses. Our neuroscience providers place great emphasis on education with our Stroke Prevention and Save the Brain programs.
Our department also offers an internship program, the Peter M. Sorini, MD Educational Endowment internship, created in the honor of the late Peter Sorini, MD. The summer internship program is funded by an endowment that has been started through the Logan Health Foundation. This program provides college students the opportunity to experience clinical neurosciences, with the anticipation of inspiring future career paths within the field. The interns have the opportunity to intern with departments of neurology, neurosurgery, and physical medicine & rehabilitation, for a five-week rotation.
Save the Brain Conference and Training
Our Save the Brain program is a nonprofit initiative co-managed by the Neuroscience & Spine Institute and Logan Health Medical Fitness Center. The mission of this program is to develop and promote a cohesive and coherent concussion education, evaluation, and treatment system related to concussion care to our community.
