Prof wolfgang grisold is a specialist for neurology and psychiatry.Cognitive learning meaning since 1989, he has been chairing the department of neurology of the KFJ hospital in vienna. The neurological department is an affiliated teaching hospital of the university of vienna.Cognitive learning meaning his special interests apart from general neurology is neuromuscular disease and neurooncology, palliative care and education in neurology. He has participated in 2 EU projects on paraneoplastic syndromes and is participating in 2 ECCO- EU projects on oncologic video education.Cognitive learning meaning

He currently published 600 publications among them 3 books, 206 pubmed quoted publications, 330 abstracts and presented over 1200 lectures. He has been involved in education from the point of CME and CPD (EFNS, UEMS, WFN), residency training (austrian society of neurology and UEMS board of neurology ), board examinations (austrian society of neurology and UEMS/EBN), patient and caregiver education and european and international department visits (UEMS/WFN).Cognitive learning meaning he has chaired the education committee of the EFNS from 2002 until 2007, has been the co-chair of the education committee of the WFN, where he presently chairs the teaching course committee.Cognitive learning meaning

He is a member of the ethics committee of the city of vienna and a member of the highest medical council of the city of vienna (“landessanitätsrat”).Cognitive learning meaning from 2000 to 2002, he was the founding president of the austrian society of neurology. He is a member of the UEMS/EBN (past president), the UEMS-EBN examination committee and past president of the EANO (european association of neurooncology).Cognitive learning meaning within ECCO he chairs ACOE (the accreditation body for CME) and is a member of the UEMS CME governance board. In the WFN he is the secretary general and treasurer.Cognitive learning meaning apart from his hospital and scientific work he runs a private neurology office in vienna, where combines clinical work with neuromuscular disease and electrophysiology.Cognitive learning meaning

Prof. William carroll: the world federation of neurology (WFN) has been a vital and integral part of my life for 18 years. I attended my first council of delegates meeting in 1999 to present the australian bid to host the 2005 world congress of neurology, which was decided at the london WCN in 2001.Cognitive learning meaning from that time, my admiration, respect, and enthusiasm for the WFN has grown. The development and achievements of the WFN have been outstanding and made possible by the selfless contributions of all involved in the WFN so that the achievements of the WFN, accomplished with limited resources, have engendered a deep respect for our organization.Cognitive learning meaning

The WFN is an organization with relatively limited financial resources, yet its mission is broad and seemingly endless. Its annual spending on operating costs, infrastructure, and personnel comprises almost half of its average annual income.Cognitive learning meaning its permanent staff number is only 2.5 FTE, but it is ably assisted by the 140 members of its 15 committees. With member societies, the regional organizations, and the quality of successive administrations, the WFN is forging a role as a global advocate and neurology educator.Cognitive learning meaning the recent formation of the african academy of neurology and its first conference in tunis this year, and the development of four regional training centers in africa, two each for the francophone and anglophone regions, are testaments to WFN’s strength of commitment to this role, as is the successful biennial world congresses of neurology.Cognitive learning meaning such achievements also bring the essential benefit of enhanced visibility of the WFN within its membership and among agencies that assist the WFN.Cognitive learning meaning

Second, underlying the WFN’s mission is the recognition of the inequality that exists in the development and delivery of neurological care and education.Cognitive learning meaning to further tackle these systematically and successfully, the WFN requires an order of priorities. I propose to continue to target the inequity of access to neurological care, expertise, and education by encouraging member societies and their regional organizations to assist in the preparation of an inventory of “most urgent inequalities.” it is likely that some will be common and amenable to a general formulated plan of assistance while others will be specific to a country or region and demand a more individual approach.Cognitive learning meaning we must develop a plan, and we should do it together.

Third, and in parallel with developing an inventory of and the plans and programs to tackle inequalities, I will be exploring the opportunities for the WFN and its member organizations to expand their association with both our two largest regional neurology organizations, the AAN and the EAN, and with global government, non-government, and regional intergovernmental organizations.Cognitive learning meaning these might include the european union, the gulf cooperation council, the asia-pacific economic cooperation, the pan american health organization, the world federation of medical education, and the WHO, to mention some.Cognitive learning meaning

The approach would be to develop cooperative strategies similar to the africa initiative and the way the WFN has interacted with the WHO via the world brain alliance and the global neurology network.Cognitive learning meaning it would likely require the establishment of a task force drawn from within the WFN and, where necessary, from professional expertise outside the WFN.Cognitive learning meaning we would seek out potential partners, evaluate the opportunities offered by each, match them to the needs inventory, and prepare an approach for those selected.Cognitive learning meaning
