7th Annual Stroke and Neurocritical Care Symposium: Advanced Management of Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies and Critical Care

Friday, September 26, 2025, 7:15 AM - 5:00 PM, Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, NJ

Save-the-Date

The 7th Annual Stroke and Neurocritical Care Symposium (SNCC) is designed to provide physicians and allied healthcare professionals with a comprehensive overview on the cutting-edge management for cerebrovascular diseases and neurocritical care including useful information on recognition and treatment of neurological emergencies.  Topics to be covered include neurovascular surgery, cerebrovascular emergencies, stroke and neurocritical care.  In addition, medical crossfire debates, consisting of experts in the field, will provide spirited discussions and debates on a particular clinical issue.

Program Committee Message
Welcome to our seventh annual CE symposium on Stroke and Neurocritical Care: Advanced Neurological and Neurosurgical Emergencies and Critical Care.

Several hot topics will be presented .  Emphasis will be on providing cutting-edge strategies directed at improving the care of patients with acute neurological and neurosurgical diseases, and minimizing secondary brain injuries.

Examination of health care delivery, management strategies, and identification of individual thresholds by means of advanced technology will all play important roles. Neurocritical care and research is a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional effort, and neurointensivists are tasked to lead this effort to further advance their field.

Please join us for this exciting sixth annual program on Stroke and Neurocritical Care!

Target Audience
This activity is designed for general and consult neurologists, stroke neurologists, neuro-intensivists, general, vascular, spine and trauma neurosurgeons, pulmonary critical care medicine physicians, cardiologist and cardiac surgeons, surgical critical care and general/trauma surgeons, anesthesiology critical care medicine physicians, emergency medicine physicians, critical care registered nurses, neuroscience nurses, acute care nurse practitioners, physician assistants/associates, EMTs and paramedics, pharmacists, and physicians and surgeons in training.
