 ologists\, neurology residents and fellows across Canada who are intereste
 d in a comprehensive review of the current clinical genetic practices deal
 ing with neurological diseases\, as well as genetic counsellors interested
  in learning more about neurogenetic testing and pathogenic\, benign\, and
  variants of uncertain significance (VUS) interpretation.\n\nBenefits of a
 ttending This comprehensive review course will assist in bringing neurolog
 y specialists up to date on the role of genetics in neurological diseases
