Next, there was an informative Scientific Platform session moderated by Drs. Dan Gold and Laura Balcer followed by a Skills Workshop where participants learned essential neuro-ophthalmic and neurovestibular examination techniques (Fig. 1). The next morning, Drs. Dean Mackay, Melissa Ko, and Leanne Stunkel discussed Emergency Room NeuroOphthalmology. Dr. Dan Gold then shared his expertise on wiggly eyes in a neuro-otology course. The ever-popular and high-yield 3-part course discussing vision loss, optic neuropathies, papilledema, optic neuritis, visual fields, anisocoria, diplopia, ocular motility disorders, and nystagmus was presented by Drs. Steve Galetta, Nancy Newman, and Valerie Biousse. Dr. Kathleen Digre led an informal discussion of the importance and logistics of sabbaticals.
