After 2 days of diligent dedication, the University-Level Scientific Seminar with the participation of a foreign reporter - for the first time - on electromyography, peripheral nerves and neuro-ophthalmic diseases that were organized by the CTUMP’s Department of Neurology and the Department of Biology, has been amazingly successful. The seminar brought a useful scientific space for practitioners and medical staffs to improve their knowledge and skills in the field of electrical and clinical neurology diagnosis. The seminar is also a huge opportunity for practitioners and doctors specializing in Neurology, Ophthalmology, Functional Exploration in and outside the Mekong Delta region to understand and absorb the principles, practice of recording and reading electromyography results, examining, identifying, analyzing and assessing neurological damage in clinical practice, especially on rare diseases or genetic nature diseases.
