Episode description

Guest: Kelly G. Gwathmey, MD

ALS can take up to a year to diagnose, but researchers are hard at work trying to find ways to minimize diagnostic delays and errors. One such solution is the Rapid Access ALS Clinic, where patients were diagnosed an average of two months sooner. Here to talk about this work is Dr. Kelly Gwathmey, Professor of Neurology at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine who presented a session on this topic at the 2024 American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Annual Meeting.
