DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since diseases of the autonomic nervous system involve a set of connecting fibers rather than a specific organ, these diseases cross specialty boundaries and frequently elude diagnosis, causing a 4-5 year delay in the implementation of easily available and effective patient treatment. In addition, since the field has no obvious champion, there is virtually no education on autonomic disorders at the medical school or residency levels. This proposal aims to improve patient care by disseminating information about autonomic disorders to generalists in family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, neurology and cardiology. This objective will be met by assembling the first patient-based symposium/workshop in autonomic disorders for pediatric and adult primary care physicians and generalists. The workshop will include introductory lectures, patient-clinician interactions, and discussion between attendees and a panel of autonomic specialists. In addition, current physician knowledge in autonomic disorders will be assessed through our rapid screening instrument before and after the workshop, and the results will be compared with results from a random sample of physicians. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Despite the high prevalence and catastrophic consequences of autonomic disorders, very little education is provided to medical students and residents about them. Consequently, primary care physicians who commonly see these patients struggle to correctly diagnose the disorder and effectively treat the patient. The dissemination of knowledge on autonomic disorders to primary care physicians and other health care professionals at the "Autonomic Disorders & Syncope Workshop" will greatly improve the care of the numerous patients afflicted with these devastating and under-recognized diseases.

描述(申请人提供)：由于自主神经系统疾病涉及一组连接的纤维，而不是特定的器官，这些疾病跨越专业界限，经常无法诊断，导致易于获得和有效的患者治疗的实施延迟4-5年。此外，由于该领域没有明显的冠军，医学院或住院医生层面几乎没有关于自主神经障碍的教育。这项建议旨在通过向家庭医学、儿科、内科、神经学和心脏病学的全科医生传播有关自主神经障碍的信息来改善患者护理。这一目标将通过为儿科和成人初级保健医生和全科医生举办第一次以患者为基础的自主神经障碍研讨会/研讨会来实现。研讨会将包括介绍性讲座、患者-临床医生互动，以及与会者和自主神经专家小组之间的讨论。此外，在研讨会之前和之后，将通过我们的快速筛查仪器评估当前医生对自主神经障碍的知识，并将结果与随机抽样的医生的结果进行比较。 与公共卫生相关：尽管自主神经障碍的发病率很高，后果是灾难性的，但向医学生和居民提供的关于这些疾病的教育很少。因此，经常看到这些患者的初级保健医生很难正确诊断这种疾病并有效地治疗患者。在“自主神经障碍和晕厥研讨会”上，向初级保健医生和其他卫生保健专业人员传播有关自主神经障碍的知识，将极大地改善对许多患有这些毁灭性和未被认识到的疾病的患者的护理。
