The Masterclass by IFCN was created in response to a call from IFCN member societies for more high quality, complimentary, online educational content. The series will provide a new presentation several times throughout the year from top clinical neurophysiologists around the world, and each will include time for discussion with the lecturer following the presentation.
Providing the best in contemporary clinical neurophysiology education delivered in the most optimal format is the primary educational goal of the IFCN. As such, Masterclass by IFCN will be available complimentary to all registrants.
Over a half century, intraoperative monitoring (IOM) evolved from a few ideas and pioneering studies to a modern widely used discipline. From its initial EEG and somatosensory evoked potential beginnings, IOM added many diverse techniques.
In this lecture, we review early years, emphasizing evoked potentials as an example. This growth in kinds of techniques was accompanied by a growth in volume of patients receiving IOM. This was accompanied by growth in training programs, eventually becoming a subspecialty of its own. Even after a half century, growth and expansion continues.
