9th Annual Jefferson New Jersey Neurovascular & Neurosciences Symposium

Thursday, November 19, 2026, 7:00 AM - 4:50 PM, The Westin Mount Laurel, Philadelphia, PA


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (7.25 hours), ABIM MOC Part 2 (7.25 hours), ABIM MOC Patient Safety (7.25 hours), ABS CC (7.25 hours), ABS CC SAM (7.25 hours), ANCC Contact Hour(s) (7.25 hours), EMT/EMS (7.25 hours), Nursing Pharmacology Credit (5.25 hours), PA Patient Safety and Risk Credit (3.75 hours)

This professional development activity enhances patient care by promoting a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to neurological disorders.

Through interactive sessions and expert-led discussions, participants will reflect on current clinical practices and identify knowledge gaps in both the medical and surgical management of neurological conditions. By bridging these gaps, the program equips clinicians with actionable strategies to optimize treatment plans and improve long-term patient outcomes.

Keynote: Eric K. Oermann, MD

Dr. Eric Oermann is a neurosurgeon and artificial intelligence expert who integrates cutting-edge AI technologies into neurosurgical practice to enhance patient care and improve outcomes. With particular expertise in brain and spinal tumors, he combines advanced surgical techniques with machine learning-driven insights developed through his postdoctoral fellowship.

Dr. Oermann is a recognized leader in medical AI, focused on applying scalable, data-driven solutions to real-world healthcare challenges while maintaining a patient-centered approach rooted in the physician–patient relationship.

Keynote: Ajay A. Madhavan, MD

Dr. Ajay A. Madhavan is a neuroradiologist at Duke Health specializing in advanced imaging of the brain, spine, and nervous system. He serves as an Instructor in the Department of Radiology at Duke University and cares for both adult and pediatric patients.

Dr. Madhavan completed his diagnostic radiology residency and neuroradiology fellowship at Mayo Clinic, and his clinical and research interests include spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, spine interventions, and emerging imaging technologies such as photon-counting CT.
