Description: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a progressive immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nerves attributed to demyelination and impairment of signal conduction in motor and/or sensory nerves. Symptoms include loss of strength and sensation typically causing symmetrical, proximal, and distal weakness. Disease progression is variable, with many patients experiencing chronic patterns of relapse and remission. This proposed educational initiative establishes impactful small group interactions among highly qualified neurology providers that will, through a variety of collaborative educational experiences, help them optimize the care of their patients with CIDP. This program will include discussions with experts and peers who can share knowledge, real world experiences, strategies, challenges, and success stories.

Brett Morrison

Johns Hopkins University
Associate Professor of Neurology

I am an Associate Professor, Director of the Neuromuscular fellowship program, and a neuromuscular clinician scientist practicing at Johns Hopkins University. I treat patients with many neuromuscular diseases, with a particular expertise in peripheral neuropathies such as CIDP. I am involved as a principal investigator in clinical trials for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy and CIDP, and have a basic science laboratory studying the role of cellular metabolism in peripheral nerve function and regeneration.
