On October 22, 2021, the Department of Neurology sponsored an Obstetrical Neurology Conference at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital designed to educate physicians and residents in the field of neurology as well as residents, nurse practitioners, midwives, and physicians in the field of obstetrics on issues where the fields of neurology and obstetrics intersect. The one-day course featured speakers from multiple disciplines including neurology, obstetrics, anesthesia, neuroradiology, and neuro-oncology. Subjects covered included preeclampsia/eclampsia, headache management, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, neuro-oncology, stroke, transgender considerations, and neurologic complications of obstetrical anesthesia.
