Upcoming Collaborative Sessions
Dr. Llano and, our very own, Dr. Alvarez will be partnering on topics starting April 15th, 2024. They will focus on subjects such as how we move, how we articulate words, how our thoughts form, and how we collect memories and subsequently delve into what happens when there is dysfunction in any of these systems. This partnership entails Dr. Alvarez beginning by explaining the physiology, anatomy, and neurobiology of each section, and Dr. Llano will then discuss the clinical aspect, addressing abnormalities.
Dr. Llano's and Dr. Alvarez's presentations will involve practical examples and clinical scenarios that facilitate the understanding of this intricate yet fascinating world of neuroscience.
On Thursday, April 18th, 2024, they will continue with an exercise that they have been doing for a couple of years now, which is a general neurological examination. Initially, there will be a theoretical session, followed by hands-on training with the assistance of various trained professors. The doctors will divide into small groups to properly explore and learn to examine patients with neurological disorders.
The UAG School of Medicine is incredibly excited to host Dr. Llano as a visiting professor, as we are certain that he will add immense value to our students. His wealth of expertise and groundbreaking research will undoubtedly enrich the educational experience and inspire the next generation of medical professionals. Additionally, during his visit, Dr. Llano will be teaching a class to our students in the Neuroscience Block, providing them with invaluable insights into this field.
