Had a great time presenting our experience at my clinical home😀. If you're interested in learning more about the misdiagnosis of #AutoimmuneEncephalitis and opportunities to help us advance the treatment of AIE, join me in San Antonio this Friday @Texas_Neuros Summer Meeting!
Phenomenal Grand Rounds by my brilliant friend/colleague Dr. Blackburn!! Very informative & well structured talk speaking on the diagnosis/misdiagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis. Exciting to hear about some emerging therapies & clinical trials on the horizon 🌟@kyleblackburnmd

@AMahajanMD @acweyand Totally agree--another solution may be a 'modifier' to the codes that allow that recognizes the cognitive demand associated with rare and complex patients. This would ideally provide more RVUs per patient and lower the overall patient expectation for academic clinicians.

Great step toward a more transparent, uniform application process. If we can solidify funding for #Neuroimmunology/#AutoimmuneNeurology programs that would be icing on the cake!
Big/wonderful news! Neuro-immunology announced that they will have a fellowship match starting with the 2023 application cycle (current PGY2s). This will promote equity and fairness, and should be a huge win for residents. 1/3 @NMatch2023 @meded #neurology
