The Weill Cornell Headache Medicine Conference will be a bi-monthly conference discussing a variety of challenging cases encountered in clinical practice. It will include a variety of cases that cover a broad range of primary and secondary headache disorders. After every session, surveys will be administered to collect participant' s perception on the impact of the presented cases on their patient care, the utility of the cases chosen, and the ability to incorporate ideas into practice. At tertiary headache centers and groups, refractory cases and rare presentations of primary headache disorders are common. Given their complicated nature, management plans are rarely straightforward with limited literature and studies available. Using a case based learning approach would allow providers to discuss cases in an interactive format and learn from real world examples and management. Prior studies have shown evidence that practice based interventions are often more effective methods of delivering not only overall CME content, but also more specifically in topics related to headache diagnosis and management, compared to didactics and lectures (Davis, 1995; Doucet; 1998).
