CMSALICMSALI April Meeting Feature Update

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 08:06:00 GMT

In Case You Missed The Feature Update! Here's a Recap About Our April Meeting Topic Parkinsonism vs. Parkinson’s Disease: How to See the Forest for the Trees All Parkinson’s Disease patients have Parkinsonism, but not all patients with Parkinsonism have Parkinson’s Disease. In the clinical setting, it’s easy to get lost in the "trees"—the tremors, the slow gait, and the stiff limbs. This talk provides the "aerial view" needed to distinguish the broad clinical syndrome of Parkinsonism from the specific neurodegenerative pathologies hiding within it. By learning to see the forest for the trees, clinicians and caregivers can better predict specific disease trajectories and craft the most appropriate roadmaps for care. <hr /> <a href="https://www.cmsali.org/events-news_cmsali-events.htm">CLICK TO REGISTER NOW FOR CMSALI APRIL MEETING</a> Share with a Friend or Colleague! <hr /> <a href="https://www.cmsali.org/events-news_cmsali-events.htm"><img alt="" height="1024" src="https://cmsali.org/dada_mail_support_files/file_uploads/cmsali_meeting-flyer-041526r.png" width="791" /></a>
