The International Center for Professional Development (ICPD) recognizes its responsibility to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to healthcare and medical education in Armenia. In this spirit, ICPD is proud to announce the 3rd Professor Edgar Housepian Clinical Neuroscience Conference: Overview of Movement Disorders.

Professor Edgar Housepian was an internationally renowned neurosurgeon at New York’s Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. His life’s work was dedicated to serving patients, advancing his community, and supporting his homeland. He spearheaded the creation of multiple Continuous Medical Education programs—many of which remain active today—benefiting healthcare professionals across Armenia and Artsakh. His tireless commitment and open-minded approach played a key role in strengthening Armenia’s healthcare system.

Movement disorders encompass a broad group of neurological conditions, including parkinsonian syndromes, hyperkinetic disorders, tremor, and dystonia. Accurate recognition and differentiation of these conditions—combined with the use of modern diagnostic tools such as neuroimaging, genetics, and other biomarkers—are essential for proper diagnosis, as well as for pharmacological and surgical treatment. This symposium offers a unique opportunity to stay current with the latest knowledge, learn from leading experts from the United States, Europe and Armenia, exchange experiences, and find answers to key clinical questions.

The program will deliver focused, comprehensive education tailored to general neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatric neurologists, family physicians, general practitioners, pediatricians, and rehabilitation specialists with a special interest in movement disorders.

This one-day virtual symposium will be held on September 27, 2025, starting from 14:00 Central Europe Time and 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, US. The program will be moderated to encourage participant engagement and interactive Q&A sessions.
