2010 Rare Neuroimmunologic Symposium, September 23 – 26, 2010 Dallas, Texas
The TM and NMO Center, University of Texas Southwestern and
The Transverse Myelitis Association

The recently established TM and NMO Center at the University of Texas Southwestern and the TMA will co-sponsor the 2010 Rare Neuroimmunologic Symposium on September 23 – 26, 2010.  The symposium will present concurrent science and clinical programs.  The science program will begin on Thursday evening, September 23rd. 

The clinical program of the Rare Neuroimmunologic Symposium is the most comprehensive offered anywhere in the world to people who have acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, neuromyelitis optica, optic neuritis and transverse myelitis and their families and to the medical professionals who offer care to people in this community.  The clinical program will take place from Friday, September 24 – Sunday, September 26.  The leading researchers and clinicians from across the country will make the educational presentations and will be available to answer your questions.

We strongly urge you to attend the symposium.  By educating yourself about your disorder, the cause of symptoms and the most effective treatments for symptom management, you will become a more effective advocate for your medical care.  As important, through your participation in the symposium, you will meet others who have shared similar experiences; people who attend our symposia make life-long friendships.
