This year's Resident Education Program will be held October 25-27, 2024 at the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Faculty and residents will engage throughout the meeting in an interactive format that features lectures, small group sessions and workshops, and a friendly competition, as well as informally at combined faculty-resident meals and social events. View the program agenda here.
Program Goals- Provide early stage adult and pediatric neurology residents with a foundation in headache medicine education.
