Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation 3-Day Course

Overview The three-day course offers intensive training on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS is an FDA-cleared treatment for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraines, smoking cessation and cortical mapping. This course is designed for psychiatrists, psychologists and researchers who wish to enhance their knowledge of TMS and related brain stimulation techniques, and includes didactic sessions and hands-on administration of TMS. The didactic sessions cover all topics relevant to running a TMS clinical service and a TMS research lab, including: Device principles and types; the neuroscience of TMS Motor threshold determination Treatment technique Stimulus dosing Risks, complications and contraindications Safety screening Post-TMS management and continuation treatment Clinical and non-clinical research applications Emerging brain stimulation techniques Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to: State the rationale for the use of TMS in depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and off-label conditions Explain regulatory issues and policies concerning TMS Name the two main components of transcranial magnetic stimulation devices Operate the TMS device and correctly use it to determine the optimal site and motor threshold Describe the findings from TMS research in imaging and motor cortex excitability studies Apply the indications for use of TMS in depression Identify the risks and side effects of TMS and describe how to conduct a safety screening Design a protocol for seizure management during TMS administration Outline steps necessary to set up a TMS service/lab Schedule, Cost, & Registration The course, currently offered on a quarterly basis, is held on a Saturday from 8:30am to 5pm, Sunday from 8:30 am to 7pm and Monday from 8:30am to 5pm. Attendees must attend all three days of the course in order to receive full continuing education credit for the course. The 2021 courses are being offered virtually due to COVID-19. The cost of the course is $2,700 and the course is capped at 30 participants. Faculty Greg Appelbaum, PhD Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Duke University School of Medicine Dr. Greg Appelbaum, an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences in the Duke University School of Medicine, directs the Human Performance Optimization lab (OptiLab) and the Brain Stimulation Research Center.
