Visiting Fellowship in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation-October 25-27, 2014

October 25, 2014 to October 27, 2014

The 3-day course offers intensive training on the FDA-cleared treatment for major depression, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).  Sponsored by the Duke University School of Medicine, includes didactic sessions and hands-on administration of TMS.  The didactic sessions with the TMS faculty of Duke University and University of Texas Southwestern cover all topics relevant to running a TMS clinical service and a TMS research lab, including: new developments in motor threshold determination, treatment technique, stimulus dosing, risks, complications and contraindications, safety screening, post TMS management and continuation treatment, clinical and non-clinical research applications, and emerging brain stimulation techniques (e.g., magnetic seizure therapy).

Learning Objectives

• State the rationale for the use of TMS in depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and other off-label conditions
• Define regulatory issues and policies concerning TMS
• Describe the findings from TMS research in imaging and motor cortex excitability studies
• Apply the indications for use of TMS in depression
• Name the two main components of transcranial magnetic stimulation devices
• Operate the TMS device and correctly use it to determine the optimal site and motor threshold
• Identify the risks and side effects of TMS and steps to conduct a safety screening
• Design a protocol for seizure management during TMS administration
